Bug description:
  [Impact]
  When net_prio and net_cls cgroups are used, cgroup refcount is bogus, as it's 
not incremented anymore, but decremented when sockets are closed.

  This might lead to crashes possibly because of use-after-free when
  packets are received as shown in LP #1886668.

  [Test case]
  Ran reproducer from comment #2.

  [Regression potential]
  We could break the use of cgroup bpf. The use of cgroup bpf looks to still be 
working from the reproducer.
