after the quick grep it seems that SO_PEERPIDFD can simply use
__pidfd_prepare() ? We know that sk->sk_peer_pid was initialized with
task_tgid(current) and thus we know it is (was) a valid TGID pid.
The same is probably true for scm->pid and scm_pidfd_recv()...
But again, I am not familiar with this code, I can be wrong.
