Hi,

So here we are calling unix_dgram_peer_wake_me() without the sk lock the first time
through - right? In that case, we can end up registering on the queue of other for
the callback but we might have already connected to a different remote. In that case,
the wakeup will crash if 'sk' has freed in the meantime.

Thanks,

-Jason
