CAN: Use inode instead of kernel address for /proc file
commit 9f260e0efa4766e56d0ac14f1aeea6ee5eb8fe83 upstream.
Since the socket address is just being used as a unique identifier, its
inode number is an alternative that does not leak potentially sensitive
information.
CC-ing stable because MITRE has assigned CVE-2010-4565 to the issue.
