But this is exactly what should happen.

For invalid ID, we return NULL from napi_by_id()

No need to add code for that, since the function is meant to deal with
valid cases.

Are you referring to sk_mark_napi_id_once() ?

Since this is only used by UDP, I would be OK to avoid the 'locking' for
'sender_cpu'  ids.
