This looks useless for SOCK_DGRAM as the server can't have a
peer for clients to send() or connect() (see unix_may_send()).

Is there any reason to support only the connect()ed peer ?
It seems the uAPI group expects to retrieve data per message
as SCM_CGROUPID.

As Willem pointed out, simply use val64 only.

Same remarks in patch 1, reverse xmas tree order, and no
initialisation needed.
