You are correct. The entry can disappear between list_is_singluar and
list_first_or_null_rcu. There are 3 possibilities at this point:
0 entries: as you point out, we need to test for this and exit since
the socket does not exist anymore.
1 entry: everything is working as expected.

In summary, I will add a test for !xs and exit in that case.

Nice simplification. Will fix.
