From: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@google.com>
commit be9f4a44e7d41cee (ipv4: tcp: remove per net tcp_sock) added a
selinux regression, reported and bisected by John Stultz
selinux_ip_postroute_compat() expect to find a valid sk->sk_security
pointer, but this field is NULL for unicast_sock
It turns out that unicast_sock are really temporary stuff to be able
to reuse part of IP stack (ip_append_data()/ip_push_pending_frames())
Fact is that frames sent by ip_send_unicast_reply() should be orphaned
to not fool LSM.
Note IPv6 never had this problem, as tcp_v6_send_response() doesnt use a
fake socket at all. I'll probably implement tcp_v4_send_response() to
remove these unicast_sock in linux-3.7
