sockmap: Fix NULL pointer dereference in sk_psock_verdict_data_ready()
syzbot reported the following NULL pointer dereference issue [1]: BUG:
kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 […] RIP:
0010:0x0 […] Call Trace: <TASK> sk_psock_verdict_data_ready+0x232/0x340

entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6f/0x77 If sk_psock_verdict_data_ready()
and sk_psock_stop_verdict() are called concurrently,
psock->saved_data_ready can be NULL, causing the above issue. This patch
fixes this issue by calling the appropriate data ready function using the
sk_psock_data_ready() helper and protecting it from concurrency with
sk->sk_callback_lock.
