Subject: [RFC][PATCH 2/1] netlink: Use the credential at the time the destination address was set.
When sending a message over a netlink socket and then checking to see if
the person is authorized to send the message it is important that we verify
both the sender of the message and the whoever it is that set the destination
of the message both have permission. Otherwise it becomes possible for an
unpriivleged user to set the message destination and trick an suid process
to write to the socket and change the network connection.
For netlink sockets socket() sets the default destination address to 0 (the kernel)
so we need to remember the credentials when a socket is created.
For netlink sockets connect() changes the default destination address so
we need to remember the credentials of the last changer of the default destination
with connect.
This results is there always being a valid remembered credential on the socket
and so that credential is unconditionally freed in netlink_release().
This change makes the semantics of the permission checks of netlink sockets
make sense,and removes the possibility of an unprivileged user getting access
to a root own socket and changing the destination address with connect.

This winds up continuig to grab credentials when socket() is called
because we actually set the destination address in socket() for netlink
sockets, but now we update those credentials when connect() is called.
