Add lock to prevent a race with a file closing and also remove
useless and ugly sscanf code. The extra code was never needed
and the case it supposedly protected against is in fact handled
correctly by sock_from_file as pointed out by Al Viro.

It looks good to me.  Al, could you please lend your review here too?

Tolerable...  I still don't like the idea of iterating through the
descriptor tables, but at least that variant is safe wrt locking and
lifetime rules.
