af_unix: conditionally use freezable blocking calls in read



Commit 2b15af6f ("af_unix: use freezable blocking calls in read")
converts schedule_timeout() to its freezable version, it was probably
correct at that time, but later, commit 2b514574
("net: af_unix: implement splice for stream af_unix sockets") breaks
the strong requirement for a freezable sleep, according to
commit 0f9548ca:

    We shouldn't try_to_freeze if locks are held.  Holding a lock can cause a
    deadlock if the lock is later acquired in the suspend or hibernate path
    (e.g.  by dpm).  Holding a lock can also cause a deadlock in the case of
    cgroup_freezer if a lock is held inside a frozen cgroup that is later
    acquired by a process outside that group.

The pipe_lock is still held at that point.

So use freezable version only for the recvmsg call path, avoid impact for
Android.
