To adhere what poll() said (i.e. "connections are ready" or "datagrams are
ready"), security_socket_accept() and security_socket_recvmsg() hooks must be
removed. Otherwise, LSM users cannot adhere what poll() said.

However, security_socket_accept() and security_socket_recvmsg() hooks remain
there. LSM users are already using semantics which may not adhere what poll()
said.
