nfc_llcp_recv_connect() creates the child socket for an incoming
CONNECT and queues it for accept(), but never calls security_sk_clone():

    new_sk = nfc_llcp_sock_alloc(NULL, parent->sk_type, GFP_ATOMIC, 0);
    ...
    new_sock = nfc_llcp_sock(new_sk);

So the accepted socket doesn't inherit the LSM state of the listening
socket. With SELinux, its sock keeps the unlabeled SID. The
sock_has_perm() checks on it (sendmsg, recvmsg and so on) still run,
but against that SID instead of the server's. Depending on the policy,
this can deny a confined server on its own accepted sockets, or allow
something the server's own label wouldn't.

Call security_sk_clone() right after the child is allocated, before it
is set up and queued for accept(). Bluetooth, iucv and vsock fixed the
same problem the same way, in commit 6230c9b4f895 ("bluetooth: Properly
clone LSM attributes to newly created child connections"),
commit 02f06918156b ("iucv: properly clone LSM attributes to newly
created child sockets") and commit 1f935e8e72ec ("selinux: vsock: Set
SID for socket returned by accept()").

Found with a static analysis tool and checked by hand.

Compile tested only, I haven't tried it with an SELinux policy and a
real LLCP peer.
