Well if it left from LISTEN to CLOSED inet_csk_listen_stop must have
been called, and that calls reqsk_queue_yank_acceptq, that sets it to
NULL, reqsk_queue_empty(&icsk->icsk_accept_queue) returns true and we
get to if (sk->sk_state != TCP_LISTEN), returning -EINVAL as with your
patch.  So I can't see a race, just one branch less in one case :-)
