BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in selinux_socket_bind, selinux_socket_connect_helper

We report two crashes related (in v4.19-rc8) :
"BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in selinux_socket_bind"
"BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in selinux_socket_connect_helper”

kernel config: https://kt0755.github.io/etc/config-4.19-rc2.kmsan
repro: https://kt0755.github.io/etc/repro.b0e55.c

Since both crashes share the same issue, we just explain one of the two.
When the third argument of bind() (i.e., addrlen) is zero, in __sys_bind(),
data copy from user sockaddr to kernel sockaddr does not occur
(net/socket.c:186).
However, a subsequent function selinux_socket_bind() tries to read
the kernel sockaddr (address->sa_family) that was not initialized at all.

We provide a simple patch below to stop them.
There are a few more lines that invoke move_addr_to_kernel(), but the
two of them
(bind and connect) seem to be the only cases to be corrected.
