ioctl(DIOCNATLOOK) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

The current version of get_pf_socket only returns
a proper PF socket if the socket was already open.

From the comments I assume it was meant to be
called once on start-up where the return value
doesn't matter, but at the moment that's not the
case and the first intercepted request leads to
an error message because an invalid socket is used:

This would be one way to fix it:
