KASAN: use-after-free Read in tomoyo_realpath_from_path

Here is a reproducer.

The problem is that TOMOYO is accessing already freed socket from security_file_open()
which later fails with -ENXIO (because we can't get file descriptor of sockets via
/proc/pid/fd/n interface), and the file descriptor is getting released before
security_file_open() completes because we do not raise "struct file"->f_count of
the file which is accessible via /proc/pid/fd/n interface. We can avoid this problem
if we can avoid calling security_file_open() which after all fails with -ENXIO.
How should we handle this race? Let LSM modules check if security_file_open() was
called on a socket?
