[PATCH v2] tomoyo: Don't check open/getattr permission on sockets.

[Tetsuo Handa]

Hello, Stephen Rothwell.

Thank you for the command line.

I was wondering why "git push -f" does not work. But I finally found
there is denyNonFastforwards option, and I was able to clean up.

$ git format-patch -1
0001-tomoyo-Don-t-use-nifty-names-on-sockets.patch
$ git reset --hard v5.5-rc1
$ git push -f origin master
$ git pull upstream master
$ git am 0001-tomoyo-Don-t-use-nifty-names-on-sockets.patch
$ git push origin master

Now the history looks like below.

I was previously using linux-security.git . But after experiencing confusion of
linux-security.git management, LSM users (including me) were suggested to have
their own git tree and were suggested to directly send patches to Linus.
And I am currently experiencing confusion of my tree management (because I have
never maintained a tree for "git push" purpose)...

Next step is how to create a pull request. If I recall correctly, I need a
GPG key for signing my request? I have a GPG key but I have never attended
key signing party.
