    sock_diag: implement a get_info handler for inet · 35ac838a
    Craig Gallek authored
    This get_info handler will simply dispatch to the appropriate
    existing inet protocol handler.
    
    This patch also includes a new netlink attribute
    (INET_DIAG_PROTOCOL).  This attribute is currently only used
    for multicast messages.  Without this attribute, there is no
    way of knowing the IP protocol used by the socket information
    being broadcast.  This attribute is not necessary in the 'dump'
    variant of this protocol (though it could easily be added)
    because dump requests are issued for specific family/protocol
    pairs.
    
    Tested: ss -E (note, the -E option has not yet been merged into
    the upstream version of ss).
