[PATCH v1 1/2] lsm: Check and handle error priority for socket_bind and socket_connect

Because the security_socket_bind and the security_socket_bind hooks are
called before the network stack, it is easy to introduce error code
inconsistencies. Instead of adding new checks to current and future
LSMs, let's fix the related hook instead. The new checks are already
(partially) implemented by SELinux and Landlock, and it should not
change user space behavior but improve error code consistency instead.
The first check is about the minimal sockaddr length according to the
address family. This improves the security of the AF_INET and AF_INET6
sockaddr parsing for current and future LSMs.
The second check is about AF_UNSPEC. This fixes error priority for bind
on PF_INET6 socket when SELinux (and potentially others) is enabled.
Indeed, the IPv6 network stack first checks the sockaddr length (-EINVAL
error) before checking the family (-EAFNOSUPPORT error). See commit
bbf5a1d0e5d0 ("selinux: Fix error priority for bind with AF_UNSPEC on
PF_INET6 socket").
The third check is about consistency between socket family and address
family. Only AF_INET and AF_INET6 are tested (by Landlock tests), so no
other protocols are checked for now.
These new checks should enable to simplify current LSM implementations,
but we may want to first land this patch on all stable branches.
A following patch adds new tests improving AF_UNSPEC test coverage for
Landlock.
