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.
