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?
