 The reason it fails in case #3 is that vp->v_socket is being set on the
 upper layer by unp_bind(), but not on the lower layer, because that code
 is ignorant of filesystem layering.
 
 I'm not sure what the best fix is for this.  Is it acceptable to have
 null_lookup simply return the lower vnode when it's of type VSOCK, or
 would that break something else?
