commit 118f457da9 upstream.
In the previous GC implementation, the shape of the inflight socket
graph was not expected to change while GC was in progress.
MSG_PEEK was tricky because it could install inflight fd silently
and transform the graph.
Let's say we peeked a fd, which was a listening socket, and accept()ed
some embryo sockets from it. The garbage collection algorithm would
have been confused because the set of sockets visited in scan_inflight()
would change within the same GC invocation.
That's why we placed spin_lock(&unix_gc_lock) and spin_unlock() in
unix_peek_fds() with a fat comment.
In the new GC implementation, we no longer garbage-collect the socket
if it exists in another queue, that is, if it has a bridge to another
SCC. Also, accept() will require the lock if it has edges.
Thus, we need not do the complicated lock dance.
