[PATCH v1 net] af_unix: Allow passing cred for embryo without SO_PASSCRED/SO_PASSPIDFD.

[Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuni1840@gmail.com>]

From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@google.com>

Before the cited commit, the kernel unconditionally embedded SCM
credentials to skb for embryo sockets even when both the sender
and listener disabled SO_PASSCRED and SO_PASSPIDFD.

Now, the credentials are added to skb only when configured by the
sender or the listener.

However, as reported in the link below, it caused a regression for
some programs that assume credentials are included in every skb,
but sometimes not now.

The only problematic scenario would be that a socket starts listening
before setting the option.  Then, there will be 2 types of non-small
race window, where a client can send skb without credentials, which
the peer receives as an "invalid" message (and aborts the connection
it seems ?):

  Client                    Server
  ------                    ------
                            s1.listen()  <-- No SO_PASS{CRED,PIDFD}
  s2.connect()
  s2.send()  <-- w/o cred
                            s1.setsockopt(SO_PASS{CRED,PIDFD})
  s2.send()  <-- w/  cred

or

  Client                    Server
  ------                    ------
                            s1.listen()  <-- No SO_PASS{CRED,PIDFD}
  s2.connect()
  s2.send()  <-- w/o cred
                            s3, _ = s1.accept()  <-- Inherit cred options
  s2.send()  <-- w/o cred                            but not set yet

                            s3.setsockopt(SO_PASS{CRED,PIDFD})
  s2.send()  <-- w/  cred

It's unfortunate that buggy programs depend on the behaviour,
but let's restore the previous behaviour.
