Subject: af_unix: conditionally use freezable blocking calls in read

From: WANG Cong <redacted>


[ Upstream commit 06a77b07e3b44aea2b3c0e64de420ea2cfdcbaa9 ]

Commit 2b15af6f95 ("af_unix: use freezable blocking calls in read")
converts schedule_timeout() to its freezable version, it was probably
correct at that time, but later, commit 2b514574f7e8
("net: af_unix: implement splice for stream af_unix sockets") breaks
the strong requirement for a freezable sleep, according to
commit 0f9548ca1091:

    We shouldn't try_to_freeze if locks are held.  Holding a lock can cause a
    deadlock if the lock is later acquired in the suspend or hibernate path
    (e.g.  by dpm).  Holding a lock can also cause a deadlock in the case of
    cgroup_freezer if a lock is held inside a frozen cgroup that is later
    acquired by a process outside that group.

The pipe_lock is still held at that point.

So use freezable version only for the recvmsg call path, avoid impact for
Android.
