As for unix_seqpacket_sendmsg(), you need to add a check for sock_error()
or similar here otherwise -ECONNRESET is not reported correctly.

In fact, recvmsg() is even harder than sendmsg() to handle correctly,
because we have to also properly report EOF on seqpacket sockets which
have RCV_SHUTDOWN set.

So a lot more work has to go into this change to make it fix the bug
without also breaking existing semantics.

Anyways, see:

    [AF_UNIX]: Don't lose ECONNRESET in unix_seqpacket_sendmsg()
    
    The fix for SELinux w/SOCK_SEQPACKET had an error,
    noted by Alan Cox.  This fixes it.
