        af_packet: don't emit packet on orig fanout group
    
    This buggy patch was a feature fix and has reached most stable
    branches.
    
    When skb->sk is NULL and when packet fanout is used, there is a
    crash in match_fanout_group where skb->sk is accessed.
    This patch fixes the issue by returning false as soon as the
    socket is NULL: this correspond to the wanted behavior because
    the kernel as to resend the skb to all the listening socket in
    this case.
