Summary

The SO_SETFIB option can be used to set a socket's FIB number, but there
is no way to retrieve it. Rename SO_SETFIB to SO_FIB and implement a
handler for it for getsockopt(2).

If we move the fib to pcb would we be able to preserve this API? Of course it would start fail on sockets where FIB doesn't make any sense. But would we be able to preserve for meaningful sockets?

Yes, the handler could be moved to the protocol layer, like I did for setsockopt(SO_SETFIB) in D48666.
