__inet_hash_connect() has a fast path taken if sk_head(&tb->owners) is
equal to the sk parameter.
sk_head() returns the hlist_entry() with respect to the sk_node field.
However entries in the tb->owners list are inserted with respect to the
sk_bind_node field with sk_add_bind_node().
Thus the check would never pass and the fast path never execute.
This fast path has never been executed or tested as this bug seems
to be present since commit 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2"), thus
remove it to reduce code complexity.

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.
