[PATCH v5] net/af_unix: don't create a path for a bound socket

In the case of a socket which is already bound to an adress
there is no sense to create a path in the next attempts

here is a program that shows the issue:

int main()
{
    int s;
    struct sockaddr_un a;

    s = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    if (s<0)
        perror("socket() failed\n");

    printf("First bind()\n");

    memset(&a, 0, sizeof(a));
    a.sun_family = AF_UNIX;
    strncpy(a.sun_path, "/tmp/.first_bind", sizeof(a.sun_path));

    if ((bind(s, (const struct sockaddr*) &a, sizeof(a))) == -1)
        perror("bind() failed\n");

    printf("Second bind()\n");

    memset(&a, 0, sizeof(a));
    a.sun_family = AF_UNIX;
    strncpy(a.sun_path, "/tmp/.first_bind_failed", sizeof(a.sun_path));

    if ((bind(s, (const struct sockaddr*) &a, sizeof(a))) == -1)
        perror("bind() failed\n");
}

kda@SLES15-SP2:~> ./test
First bind()
Second bind()
bind() failed
: Invalid argument

kda@SLES15-SP2:~> ls -la /tmp/.first_bind
.first_bind         .first_bind_failed
