I don't think this is an option, because __unregister_prot_hook()
can be called without lock_sock(), for example in packet_notifier().

Yeah, register_prot_hook() and unregister_prot_hook() already assume
bind_lock.

Right, no need to mention the mutex_unlock() before the spin_unlock()
is clearly wrong.

How about the following patch?
