af_unix: Use cached value for SOCK_STREAM in unix_inq_len().

Browse source

Compared to TCP, ioctl(SIOCINQ) for AF_UNIX SOCK_STREAM socket is more
expensive, as unix_inq_len() requires iterating through the receive queue
and accumulating skb->len.

Let's cache the value for SOCK_STREAM to a new field during sendmsg()
and recvmsg().

The field is protected by the receive queue lock.

Note that ioctl(SIOCINQ) for SOCK_DGRAM returns the length of the first
skb in the queue.

SOCK_SEQPACKET still requires iterating through the queue because we do
not touch functions shared with unix_dgram_ops.  But, if really needed,
we can support it by switching __skb_try_recv_datagram() to a custom
version.
