My initial question was whether sock_graft() should do a sock_put()
before cutting loose the existing parent->sk and assigning a new
parent->sk (https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg442191.html)

It look like PF_ALG sets up a ->sk in alg_create() (but this
would get over-written in alg_accept()?) 

Cc'ing Herbert to see if this is expected behavior (and PF_ALG
somehow does the right thing with the refcount for the ->sk
set up in alg_create) in which case I suppose we should drop the 
WARN_ON.
