[7u4-osx] Request for approval for 7127660 (macosx) *Socket Async close not working

[Michael McMahon]

This is actually the same code that's always been there on Linux. It's 
an interesting observation though
because on the face of it, it is dead code that shouldn't be. The reason 
it has always worked
is that the value passed in is never different to the value returned. 
And we don't even check
the returned value anywhere. Socket addresses always have the same size 
at runtime.
I think I will remove the dead code at least, and add a comment.
