[PATCH 34/40] sock: safely expose kernel sockets to userspace

[Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>]

[-- Attachment #1: net-SOCK_KERNEL.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2426 bytes --]

SOCK_KERNEL - avoids user-space from actually using this socket for anything.
This enables sticking kernel sockets into the files_table for identifying and
reference counting purposes.

(iSCSI wants to do this)
