Drop it and target bpf-next.

With this hunk one hook uses the cgroup of the socket or the current
cgroup. It depends on the caller.
bpf_lsm_current_hooks is for such hooks. Add the two hooks there.
In __sock_create() the current task allocates the sk. So
socket_post_create gets the same cgroup both ways.
Then there is no need to touch cgroup.c.

Something like this (compile tested only):
