bind_map_addr() handles AF_UNSPEC on an IPv4 socket by reading
addr4->sin_addr.s_addr to check for INADDR_ANY. At that point the only
length check done is addrlen >= offsetofend(struct sockaddr, sa_family),
i.e. 2 bytes, while sin_addr sits at offset 4. move_addr_to_kernel()
copies only addrlen bytes into the on-stack sockaddr_storage, so a
bind() with a short AF_UNSPEC address makes AppArmor branch on bytes the
caller never supplied.

Depending on those bytes, a confined task gets -EAFNOSUPPORT instead of
the -EINVAL that inet_bind_sk() returns for the same request. Kernels
built with CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO read zeroes and happen to behave
correctly.

Check the length first, as inet_bind_sk() does, and as the AF_INET6
case above already does for inet6_bind_sk().

Tested on v7.3 built with CONFIG_INIT_STACK_NONE in QEMU, with a task
confined by a profile allowing all network access, calling bind() on an
AF_INET UDP socket with {.sa_family = AF_UNSPEC} and addrlen 2 and 4
(200 times each, after leaving a non-zero address in the kernel buffer):
unpatched returns -EAFNOSUPPORT every time, patched returns -EINVAL
every time, matching unconfined tasks. Other AF_UNSPEC, AF_INET and
AF_INET6 bind cases behave identically with and without the patch.
