<title>net: remove sock_i_uid()</title>

<id>c51da3f7a161c6822232be832abdffe47eb55b4c</id>
<content type='text'>
Difference between sock_i_uid() and sk_uid() is that
after sock_orphan(), sock_i_uid() returns GLOBAL_ROOT_UID
while sk_uid() returns the last cached sk-&gt;sk_uid value.

None of sock_i_uid() callers care about this.

Use sk_uid() which is much faster and inlined.

Note that diag/dump users are calling sock_i_ino() and
can not see the full benefit yet.

<id>b8c7dd15ceb87e5f37ec1ed7b56c279d98f3eb53</id>
<content type='text'>
There were several instances of the string "assocat" in the kernel, which
should have been spelled "associat", with the various endings of -ive,
-ed, -ion, and sometimes beginnging with dis-.

Add to the spelling dictionary the corrections so that future instances
will be caught by checkpatch, and fix the instances found.

Originally noticed by accident with a 'git grep socat'.

<content type='text'>
Rather than pass in flags, error pointer, and whether this is a kernel
invocation or not, add a struct proto_accept_arg struct as the argument.
This then holds all of these arguments, and prepares accept for being
able to pass back more information.

No functional changes in this patch.

Variable err is being assigned a zero value and it is never read
afterwards in either the break path or continue path, the assignment
is redundant and can be removed. With it removed, the if statement
can also be simplified.
