When we cloned a socket policy (for example, for a child TCP socket derived from a listening socket), we did not copy the family field. This results in a live policy with a zero family field. This triggers a BUG_ON check in the af_key code when the cloned policy is retrieved. This patch fixes it by copying the family field over.
