unix_bind_bsd(): move done_path_create() call after dealing with ->bindlock

Browse source

Final preparations for doing unlink on failure past the successful
mknod.  We can't hold ->bindlock over ->mknod() or ->unlink(), since
either might do sb_start_write() (e.g. on overlayfs).  However, we
can do it while holding filesystem and VFS locks - doing
	kern_path_create()
	vfs_mknod()
	grab ->bindlock
	if u->addr had been set
		drop ->bindlock
		done_path_create
		return -EINVAL
	else
		assign the address to socket
		drop ->bindlock
		done_path_create
		return 0
would be deadlock-free.  Here we massage unix_bind_bsd() to that
form.  We are still doing equivalent transformations.

Next commit will *not* be an equivalent transformation - it will
add a call of vfs_unlink() before done_path_create() in "alread bound"
case.
