sparse reports an error due to use of RCU_INIT_POINTER helper to assign to
sk_user_data pointer, which is not tagged with __rcu:
net/core/sock.c:1875:25: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces):
net/core/sock.c:1875:25: void [noderef] <asn:4> *
net/core/sock.c:1875:25: void *
... and rightfully so. sk_user_data is not always treated as a pointer to
an RCU-protected data. When it is used to point at an RCU-protected object,
we access it with __sk_user_data to inform sparse about it.
In this case, when the child socket does not inherit sk_user_data from the
parent, there is no reason to treat it as an RCU-protected pointer.
Use a regular assignment to clear the pointer value.
Fixes: f1ff5ce2cd ("net, sk_msg: Clear sk_user_data pointer on clone if tagged")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
