af_unix: move unix_mknod() out of bindlock [ Upstream commit 0fb44559ffd67de8517098b81f675fa0210f13f0 ] Dmitry reported a deadlock scenario: unix_bind() path: u->bindlock ==> sb_writer do_splice() path: sb_writer ==> pipe->mutex ==> u->bindlock In the unix_bind() code path, unix_mknod() does not have to be done with u->bindlock held, since it is a pure fs operation, so we can just move unix_mknod() out.
