If the chardev is client, the socket file path in localAddr may be NULL.
This is because the socket path comes from getsockname(), according
to man page, getsockname() returns the current address bound by the
socket sockfd. If the chardev is client, it's socket is unbound sockfd.

Therefore, when computing the client chardev socket file path, using
remoteAddr is more appropriate.

This patch doesn't change anything, and I don't understand the problem
you are trying to fix.

Can you provide more details or a test scenario?

thanks
