AFAICS, the former.  The code was initially supposed to remove the sk
from a 'hslot' list manually in some way, but it was changed to use
sk_del_node_init() instead.  The first version I've posted already
contains sk_del_node_init().  So indeed this is a useless code.

Btw, it looks like sk_del_node_init() can be replaced with
sk_del_node() which is a bit faster.

Thanks,
