Reported by Coverity (CWE-119): Negative value used as argument to a function expecting a positive value (for example, size of buffer or allocation) and harmless, because getsockopt() would return -EBADF if the socket is -1, so we wouldn't print anything. Check if accept4() returns a valid socket before calling getsockopt() on it.
