Subject: af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIAL when dest socket is NULL
From: dingtianhong <dingtianhong@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 14134f6584212d585b310ce95428014b653dfaf6 ]
SCM_SCREDENTIALS should apply to write() syscalls only either source or destination
socket asserted SOCK_PASSCRED. The original implememtation in maybe_add_creds is wrong,
and breaks several LSB testcases ( i.e. /tset/LSB.os/netowkr/recvfrom/T.recvfrom).
