Subject: sock_diag: do not broadcast raw socket destruction

From: Willem de Bruijn <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 9a0fee2b552b1235fb1706ae1fc664ae74573be8 ]

Diag intends to broadcast tcp_sk and udp_sk socket destruction. Testing sk->sk_protocol for IPPROTO_TCP/IPPROTO_UDP alone is not sufficient for this. Raw sockets can have the same type.

Add a test for sk->sk_type.
