Prior to this, commit 4cd12c6065df ("bpf, sockmap: Fix NULL pointer

dereference in sk_psock_verdict_data_ready()") fixed one NULL pointer

similarly due to no protection of saved_data_ready. Here is another

different caller causing the same issue because of the same reason. So

we should protect it with sk_callback_lock read lock because the writer

side in the sk_psock_drop() uses "write_lock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock);".

To avoid errors that could happen in future, I move those two pairs of

lock into the sk_psock_data_ready(), which is suggested by John Fastabend.
