Yep, ping seems to have its own socket with nonzero inode. Thanks.

But since tcpdump uses packet socket it is not seen anywhere in /proc/net,
netstat, lsof etc. It's not a big deal but maybe we should put out some
informations about packet sockets also in the future. Even
/proc/net/sockstat doesn't show them.
