af_unix: Run GC on only one CPU.

If more than 16000 inflight AF_UNIX sockets exist and the garbage
collector is not running, unix_(dgram|stream)_sendmsg() call unix_gc().
Also, they wait for unix_gc() to complete.

In unix_gc(), all inflight AF_UNIX sockets are traversed at least once,
and more if they are the GC candidate.  Thus, sendmsg() significantly
slows down with too many inflight AF_UNIX sockets.

There is a small window to invoke multiple unix_gc() instances, which
will then be blocked by the same spinlock except for one.

Let's convert unix_gc() to use struct work so that it will not consume
CPUs unnecessarily.

Note WRITE_ONCE(gc_in_progress, true) is moved before running GC.
If we leave the WRITE_ONCE() as is and use the following test to
call flush_work(), a process might not call it.

    CPU 0                                     CPU 1
    ---                                       ---
                                              start work and call __unix_gc()
    if (work_pending(&unix_gc_work) ||        <-- false
        READ_ONCE(gc_in_progress))            <-- false
            flush_work();                     <-- missed!
	                                      WRITE_ONCE(gc_in_progress, true)
