Subject: [PATCH] security: fix documentation for the socket_getpeersec_dgram hook

From: Denis Efremov <[email protected]>

The socket_getpeersec_dgram hook was changed in the commit
"[AF_UNIX]: Kernel memory leak fix for af_unix datagram getpeersec patch"
(dc49c1f94e34). The arguments @secdata and @seclen were changed to @sock
and @secid. This patch updates the documentation accordingly.
