Please use sock->sk_family to simplify the conditional above, or
better yet, use the local variable @family as it is set to the sock's
address family near the top of selinux_socket_bind() ... although, as
I'm looking at the existing code, is this patch necessary?

At the top of the AF_UNSPEC/AF_INET case there is an address length check:

  if (addrlen < sizeof(struct sockaddr_in))
    return -EINVAL;

... which I believe should be performing the required sockaddr length
check (and it is checking for IPv4 address lengths not IPv6 as in the
patch).  I see that we have a similar check for AF_INET6, so we should
be covered there as well.

I'm probably still in a bit of a holiday fog, can you help me see what
I'm missing here?
