[PATCH net-next 07/15] scm: allow AF_BUS sockets to send ancillary data

[Vincent Sanders]

From: Javier Martinez Canillas <javier.martinez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Similar to UNIX domain sockets AF_BUS sockets support passing file
descriptors and process credentials which requires supporting passing
control messages.

The core socket level control messages processing requires extending
to allow sockets other than PF_UNIX to send SCM_RIGHTS type messages.
