Nope. :-)

It is unclear if the only motivation here is making sure nobody else
sees the socket when given thread calls soabort. This would be easily
guaranteed in here: fd allocation failed, fp with given socket was never
exposed to anyone.

So, if you say soabort would work here just fine, I'm happy to use it
and blame you for problems. :-)
