Kuniyuki Iwashima afd20b9290 af_unix: Replace the big lock with small locks.
The hash table of AF_UNIX sockets is protected by the single lock.  This
patch replaces it with per-hash locks.

The effect is noticeable when we handle multiple sockets simultaneously.
Here is a test result on an EC2 c5.24xlarge instance.  It shows latency
(under 10us only) in unix_insert_unbound_socket() while 64 CPUs creating
1024 sockets for each in parallel.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
