It is not safe to do so because such sockets are already in the
hash tables and changing these options can result in invalidating
the tb->fastreuse(port) caching.
This can have later far reaching consequences wrt. bind conflict checks
which rely on these caches (for optimization purposes).
Not to mention that you can currently end up with two identical
non-reuseport listening sockets bound to the same local ip:port
by clearing reuseport on them after they've already both been bound.
There is unfortunately no EISBOUND error or anything similar,
and EISCONN seems to be misleading for a bound-but-not-connected
socket, so use EUCLEAN 'Structure needs cleaning' which AFAICT
is the closest you can get to meaning 'socket in bad state'.
(although perhaps EINVAL wouldn't be a bad choice either?)
This does unfortunately run the risk of breaking buggy
userspace programs...
