I recognize that AF_UNIX is really the only protocol that supports
socketpair(2) at the moment, but I like to avoid protocol specific LSM
hooks whenever possible.  Unless someone can think of a good
objection, I would prefer to see the hook placed in __sys_socketpair()
instead (and obviously drop the "unix_stream" portion from the hook
name).
