Thanks for the guidance.

I checked the current net-next tree. Commit 003f21868b2b ("llc: move
the type 2 sockets out of tree") removes the in-tree PF_LLC socket
implementation and LLC type 2 connection state machine. In particular,
net/llc/llc_conn.c and net/llc/af_llc.c are no longer present, so
there is no corresponding child-socket allocation path for this series
to fix in net-next.

I'll drop this series.

Thanks,
Zihan
