netfilter: drop outermost socket lock in getsockopt()

commit 01ea306f2ac2baff98d472da719193e738759d93 upstream.

The Syzbot reported a possible deadlock in the netfilter area caused by
rtnl lock, xt lock and socket lock being acquired with a different order
on different code paths, leading to the following backtrace:

which lock already depends on the new lock.

Since commit 3f34cfae1230 ("netfilter: on sockopt() acquire sock lock
only in the required scope"), we already acquire the socket lock in
the innermost scope, where needed. In such commit I forgot to remove
the outer-most socket lock from the getsockopt() path, this commit
addresses the issues dropping it now.

v1 -> v2: fix bad subj, added relavant 'fixes' tag

Fixes: 202f59afd441 ("netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: do not hold dev")
