Subject: [net-next 5/5] net: sock: remove the definition of SOCK_DEBUG()

As SOCK_DEBUG() isn't used any more, we can get ride of it now.

Regarding the SO_DEBUG in sock_{s,g}etsockopt, I think it is better to
keep as-is, because if we return an errno to tell the application that
this optname isn't supported, it may break the application.
The application still can use this option but don't take any effect from
now on.
