[NET]: cleanup sock_from_file()

Browse source 
I believe dead code from sock_from_file() can be cleaned up.

All sockets are now built using sock_attach_fd(), that puts the 'sock' pointer 
into file->private_data and &socket_file_ops into file->f_op

I could not find a place where file->private_data could be set to NULL, 
keeping opened the file.

So to get 'sock' from a 'file' pointer, either :

- This is a socket file (f_op == &socket_file_ops), and we can directly get 
'sock' from private_data.
- This is not a socket, we return -ENOTSOCK and dont even try to find a socket 
via dentry/inode :)
