[PATCH net-next 1/2] socket: Allow external sockets to use socket syscalls

[Alex Gartrell]

Currently the "is-socket" test for a file compares the ops table pointer,
which is static and local to the socket.c.  Instead, this adds a flag for
private_data_is_socket.  This is an exceptionally long commit message for a
two-line patch.
