Subject: [PATCH 05/10] security: fix documentation for the socket_getpeersec_dgram hook

The socket_getpeersec_dgram hook was changed in the commit
"[AF_UNIX]: Kernel memory leak fix for af_unix datagram
getpeersec patch" (dc49c1f94e34). The arguments @secdata
and @seclen were changed to @sock and @secid. This patch
updates the documentation accordingly.
