In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf, 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

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.
