pfcp_newlink() creates the UDP socket before register_netdevice().
If registration fails after pfcp_dev_init() succeeds, the core calls
pfcp_dev_uninit(), which releases the socket and clears pfcp->sk.
The newlink error path then releases it again, causing a NULL pointer
dereference. This was observed with failslab fault injection:
FAULT_INJECTION: forcing a failure.
kobject: kobject_add_internal failed for pfcp0 (error: -12 parent: net)

v2:
- Use a NULL check in pfcp_del_sock() as the minimal fix for net and
