NAME
       sock_unregister - remove a protocol handler

SYNOPSIS
       void sock_unregister(int family);

ARGUMENTS
       family
           protocol family to remove

DESCRIPTION
       This function is called by a protocol handler that wants to remove its address family, and
       have it unlinked from the new socket creation.

       If protocol handler is a module, then it can use module reference counts to protect
       against new references. If protocol handler is not a module then it needs to provide its
       own protection in the ops->create routine.
