I think this looks good. The main reason I blocked it off before is mostly
because I had no use-case for it and the complication with what to do with
child sockets. Clearing the psock state seems OK to me if user wants to
add it back to a map they can simply grab it again from a sockops event.
By the way I would eventually like to see the lookup hook return the
correct type (PTR_TO_SOCKET_OR_NULL) so that the verifier "knows" the type
and the socket can be used the same as if it was pulled from a sk_lookup
helper.
