As explained in the next patch, SO_PASSRIGHTS would have a problem
if we assigned a corresponding bit to socket->flags, so it must be
managed in struct sock.
Mixing socket->flags and sk->sk_flags for similar options will look
confusing, and sk->sk_flags does not have enough space on 32bit system.
Also, as mentioned in commit 16e572626961 ("af_unix: dont send
SCM_CREDENTIALS by default"), SOCK_PASSCRED and SOCK_PASSPID handling
is known to be slow, and managing the flags in struct socket cannot
avoid that for embryo sockets.
Let's move SOCK_PASS{CRED,PIDFD,SEC} to struct sock.
While at it, other SOCK_XXX flags in net.h are grouped as enum.
Note that assign_bit() was atomic, so the writer side is moved down
after lock_sock() in setsockopt(), but the bit is only read once
in sendmsg() and recvmsg(), so lock_sock() is not needed there.
