tomoyo: Don't check open/getattr permission on sockets.
syzbot is reporting that use of SOCKET_I()->sk from open() can result in use after free problem [1], for socket's inode is still reachable via /proc/pid/fd/n despite destruction of SOCKET_I()->sk already completed. But there is no point with calling security_file_open() on sockets because open("/proc/pid/fd/n", !O_PATH) on sockets fails with -ENXIO. There is some point with calling security_inode_getattr() on sockets because stat("/proc/pid/fd/n") and fstat(open("/proc/pid/fd/n", O_PATH)) are valid. If we want to access "struct sock"->sk_{family,type,protocol} fields, we will need to use security_socket_post_create() hook and security_inode_free() hook in order to remember these fields because security_sk_free() hook is called before the inode is destructed. But since information which can be protected by checking security_inode_getattr() on sockets is trivial, let's not be bothered by "struct inode"->i_security management. There is point with calling security_file_ioctl() on sockets. Since ioctl(open("/proc/pid/fd/n", O_PATH)) is invalid, security_file_ioctl() on sockets should remain safe.
