This patch series tries to close this gap and makes both behave the
same. A new LSM-hook is added which allows LSMs to cache the correct
peer information on newly created socket-pairs.
Looks okay to me.

Once it's respun with the Smack backend and maybe the hook name change,
I'll merge this unless DaveM wants it to go in via his networking tree.
Note my objection to the hook placement in patch 2/3; I think we
should move the hook out of the AF_UNIX layer and up into the socket
layer.
I vote for this as it maintains the intended abstraction of the socket 
API.
