This is really heavy handed and excessive for these cases.

They don't have to handle any of the issues dealt with in
tcp_set_state().

I would prefer if you made a special helper to net/tcp.h which did:

static inline void __tcp_set_state(struct sock *sk, int state)
{
trace_tcp_set_state(sk, sk->sk_state, state);
sk->sk_state = state;
}
