Well, just refusing security_file_open() is not sufficient, for open(O_PATH) allows installing
file descriptor where SOCKET_I(inode)->sk can change at any moment, and TOMOYO cannot tell
whether it is safe to access SOCKET_I(inode)->sk from security_inode_getattr().

But refusing open(O_PATH) as well might break userspace programs. Oh, no...
