[AF_UNIX]: Remove superfluous reference counting in unix_stream_sendmsg
AF_UNIX stream socket performance on P4 CPUs tends to suffer due to a lot of pipeline flushes from atomic operations. The patch below removes the sock_hold() and sock_put() in unix_stream_sendmsg(). This should be safe as the socket still holds a reference to its peer which is only released after the file descriptor's final user invokes unix_release_sock(). The only consideration is that we must add a memory barrier before setting the peer initially. Signed-off-by: Benjamin LaHaise <benjamin.c.lahaise@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
