Merge branch 'af_unix-remove-old-gc-leftovers'

Kuniyuki Iwashima says:

====================
af_unix: Remove old GC leftovers.

This is a follow-up series for commit 4090fa373f0e ("af_unix: Replace
garbage collection algorithm.") which introduced the new GC for AF_UNIX.

Now we no longer need two ugly tricks for the old GC, let's remove them.

-	 * Garbage collection of unix sockets starts by selecting a set of
-	 * candidate sockets which have reference only from being in flight
-	 * (total_refs == inflight_refs).  This condition is checked once during
-	 * the candidate collection phase, and candidates are marked as such, so
-	 * that non-candidates can later be ignored.  While inflight_refs is
-	 * protected by unix_gc_lock, total_refs (file count) is not, hence this
-	 * is an instantaneous decision.
-	 *
-	 * Once a candidate, however, the socket must not be reinstalled into a
-	 * file descriptor while the garbage collection is in progress.
-	 *
-	 * If the above conditions are met, then the directed graph of
-	 * candidates (*) does not change while unix_gc_lock is held.
-	 *
-	 * Any operations that changes the file count through file descriptors
-	 * (dup, close, sendmsg) does not change the graph since candidates are
-	 * not installed in fds.
-	 *
-	 * Dequeing a candidate via recvmsg would install it into an fd, but
-	 * that takes unix_gc_lock to decrement the inflight count, so it's
-	 * serialized with garbage collection.
-	 *
-	 * MSG_PEEK is special in that it does not change the inflight count,
-	 * yet does install the socket into an fd.  The following lock/unlock
-	 * pair is to ensure serialization with garbage collection.  It must be
-	 * done between incrementing the file count and installing the file into
-	 * an fd.
-	 *
-	 * If garbage collection starts after the barrier provided by the
-	 * lock/unlock, then it will see the elevated refcount and not mark this
-	 * as a candidate.  If a garbage collection is already in progress
-	 * before the file count was incremented, then the lock/unlock pair will
-	 * ensure that garbage collection is finished before progressing to
-	 * installing the fd.
