[PATCH] selinux: Fix address length checks in connect hook
This patch fixes the address length checks in the selinux_socket_connect hook to be no more restrictive than the underlying ipv4 and ipv6 code; otherwise, this hook can reject valid connect calls. This patch is in response to a bug report where an application was calling connect on an INET6 socket with an address that didn't include the optional scope id and failing due to these checks.
