[PATCH v3 net-next 13/13] af_unix: Relax race in unix_autobind().

When we bind an AF_UNIX socket without a name specified, the kernel selects
an available one from 0x00000 to 0xFFFFF.  unix_autobind() starts searching
from a number in the 'static' variable and increments it after acquiring
two locks.

If multiple processes try autobind, they obtain the same lock and check if
a socket in the hash list has the same name.  If not, one process uses it,
and all except one end up retrying the _next_ number (actually not, it may
be incremented by the other processes).  The more we autobind sockets in
parallel, the longer the latency gets.  We can avoid such a race by
searching for a name from a random number.

These show latency in unix_autobind() while 64 CPUs are simultaneously
autobind-ing 1024 sockets for each.

  Without this patch:
