Shortlog:

      af_unix: take address assignment/hash insertion into a new helper
      unix_bind(): allocate addr earlier
      unix_bind(): separate BSD and abstract cases
      unix_bind(): take BSD and abstract address cases into new helpers
      fold unix_mknod() into unix_bind_bsd()
      unix_bind_bsd(): move done_path_create() call after dealing with ->bindlock
      unix_bind_bsd(): unlink if we fail after successful mknod
      __unix_find_socket_byname(): don't pass hash and type separately

Please, review.
