accept also calls accept4. See <kernel-src>/net/socket.c:
SYSCALL_DEFINE3(accept, int, fd, struct sockaddr __user *, upeer_sockaddr,
		int __user *, upeer_addrlen)
{
	return sys_accept4(fd, upeer_sockaddr, upeer_addrlen, 0);
}

or:
SYSCALL_DEFINE2(socketcall, int, call, unsigned long __user *, args)
{
...
	switch (call) {
...
	case SYS_ACCEPT:
		err = sys_accept4(a0, (struct sockaddr __user *)a1,
				  (int __user *)a[2], 0);


On s390, there are no direct calls for these three syscalls. Thus I have 
to duplicate this behaviour to avoid the socketcall-syscall.
