This is wrong. The capability is checked even if the user hasn't provided any
of the socket attributes. Instead we must check for the capability iff at
least one of the three attributes is provided. It's not sufficient to move the
check below

because this would allow an unprivileged caller to find the port and transit
namespace by trial and error.

I'll fix this in the next version.
