[PATCH v2 bpf-next 3/4] af_unix: Pass skb to security_unix_may_send().

From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu at google.com>

SO_PASSRIGHTS is not flexible as it cannot control what types
of file descriptors are allowed to be passed.

Let's pass skb to security_unix_may_send() so that we can
implement more fine-grained filtering logic with BPF LSM.

Note that only the LSM_HOOK() macro uses the __nullable suffix
for skb to inform the verifier that the skb could be NULL at
connect().  Without it, I was able to load a bpf prog without
NULL check against skb.
