Hi,

The attached patches aims to fix select(write) on connect()ed UNIX
datagram sockets. Without this patch, such select() is basically a NOP
i.e. it returns immediately indicating a datagram can be written.

As I don't know this part of the kernel very well I'd appreciate it if
you who know it better check the patch for correctness.

A simple test program is attached as well.

This patch doesn't fix select(write) on unconnect()ed sockets as there
is no obvious way to check for socket state.
