Re: [PATCH] af_unix: Use kfree for addresses in unix_bind

Use kfree instead of unix_release_addr when freeing newly-allocated
unix_address structures after binding the socket failed. The second
function does an atomic_dec_and_test in order to free the address once
its reference count falls to zero which isn't necessary for the
unix_bind error path as the new structure wasn't published yet. 'Using
kfree' is also how unix_autobind handles this case.

This looks net-next material ?

Not sure what you gain by optimizing error paths ...
