    The following lines of code produce a kernel oops.
    
    fd = socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC|SOCK_NONBLOCK, 0);
    fchmod(fd, 0666);

    This happens because sockets do not define the removexattr operation.
    Before removing the xattr, verify the removexattr function pointer is
    not NULL.
