Once sk->sk_state is changed to TCP_LISTEN, it never changes.

unix_accept() takes advantage of this characteristics; it does not
hold the listener's unix_state_lock() and only acquires recvq lock
to pop one skb.

It means unix_state_lock() does not prevent the queue length from
changing in unix_stream_connect().

Thus, we need to use unix_recvq_full_lockless() to avoid data-race.

Now we remove unix_recvq_full() as no one uses it.

Note that we can remove READ_ONCE() for sk->sk_max_ack_backlog in
unix_recvq_full_lockless() because of the following reasons:

  (1) For SOCK_DGRAM, it is a written-once field in unix_create1()

  (2) For SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET, it is changed under the
      listener's unix_state_lock() in unix_listen(), and we hold
      the lock in unix_stream_connect()
