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.
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel, where a race condition is present between the sk_psock_verdict_data_ready() and sk_psock_stop_verdict() functions. If the functions are called concurrently, the psock (packet socket) object which both access could be NULL, causing a NULL pointer dereference, leading to memory corruption or crashes.
