Depending on where the -EFAULT occurs, the problem could be different.
In our case, the -EFAULT is returned from getsockopt() during a
"bootup-critical property setting" flow in Android. As a result, the
property setting fails due it get -EFAULT from getsockopt(), causing
the device to fail the boot process.

Should the userspace caller always anticipate an -EFAULT from
getsockopt() if there's another process enables CGROUP_GETSOCKOPT
(possibly through the bpf() syscall) at the same time?
If that's the case, then I will handle this in userspace.
