Merge branch 'af_unix-replace-unix_table_lock-with-per-hash-locks'

Kuniyuki Iwashima says:

====================
af_unix: Replace unix_table_lock with per-hash locks.

The hash table of AF_UNIX sockets is protected by a single big lock,
unix_table_lock.  This series replaces it with small per-hash locks.

1st -  2nd : Misc refactoring
3rd -  8th : Separate BSD/abstract address logics
9th - 11th : Prep to save a hash in each socket
12th       : Replace the big lock
13th       : Speed up autobind()

Note to maintainers:
The 12th patch adds two kinds of Sparse warnings on patchwork:

  about unix_table_double_lock/unlock()
    We can avoid this by adding two apparent acquires/releases annotations,
    but there are the same kinds of warnings about unix_state_double_lock().

  about unix_next_socket() and unix_seq_stop() (/proc/net/unix)
    This is because Sparse does not understand logic in unix_next_socket(),
    which leaves a spin lock held until it returns NULL.
    Also, tcp_seq_stop() causes a warning for the same reason.

These warnings seem reasonable, but let me know if there is any better way.
Please see [0] for details.
