If anything, __unix_complete_bind() might make a better name for that,
with dropping ->bindlock also pulled in, but TBH I don't have sufficiently
strong preferences - might as well leave dropping the lock to caller.

I'll post that series to netdev tonight.  
	Took longer than I hoped...  Anyway, here's the current variant;
it's 5.11-based, lives in

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

The actual fix is in #7/8, the first 6 are massage in preparation to that
and #8/8 is a minor followup cleanup.  Individual patches in followups.
Dave is out this week, but this looks good to me. You said "please
review" - I'm assuming you'll send these to Linus yourself, so:
