When we call conenct() for UDP socket in SO_REUSEPORT group, the state
is changed from TCP_CLOSE to TCP_ESTABLISHED in __ip4_datagram_connect(),
and the socket remains in the group.

That's why we check TCP_ESTABLISHED in reuseport_select_sock_by_hash()
that is always false for TCP but true for UDP in the case above.
