Oops, I missed it.

This is called upon connect(), isn't it? Then, it is possible that a socket's
protocol family is PF_INET6 but address given is AF_INET, isn't it? For example,
__ip6_datagram_connect() checks for AF_INET before checking addrlen is at least
SIN6_LEN_RFC2133 bytes. Thus, I think that we need to return 0 if address given
is AF_INET even if socket is PF_INET6.

Commit b9ef5513c99b was wrong, but we need to also fix commit c673944347ed ?
