I see, psock holds a sock reference and will not release it until a full
grace period has elapsed.

Even if holding a ref wasn't a problem, I'm not sure if returning a
TCP_ESTABLISHED socket wouldn't trip up callers of inet_lookup_listener
(tcp_v4_rcv and nf_tproxy_handle_time_wait4), that look for a listener
when processing a SYN to TIME_WAIT socket.
