Subject: [PATCH] net/socket: set socket inode times to current_time

Socket creation time are sometimes useful but not available becasue the
socket inode times are not set when initializing the inode.  This patch
sets the socket inode times to current_time().

Before the fix, the socket inode times are at epoch, for example:

    $ stat -L /proc/383/fd/3
      File: /proc/383/fd/3
      Size: 0               Blocks: 0          IO Block: 4096   socket
    Device: 0,8     Inode: 15996       Links: 1
    Access: (0777/srwxrwxrwx)  Uid: ( 1000/    arch)   Gid: ( 1000/    arch)
    Access: 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000000000 +0000
    Modify: 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000000000 +0000
    Change: 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000000000 +0000

After the fix, the inode times are the socket creation time:

    $ stat -L /proc/254/fd/3
      File: /proc/254/fd/3
      Size: 0               Blocks: 0          IO Block: 4096   socket
    Device: 0,7     Inode: 13170       Links: 1
    Access: (0777/srwxrwxrwx)  Uid: ( 1000/    arch)   Gid: ( 1000/    arch)
    Access: 2023-02-01 03:27:50.094731201 +0000
    Modify: 2023-02-01 03:27:50.094731201 +0000
    Change: 2023-02-01 03:27:50.094731201 +0000
