Kuniyuki Iwashima b6e8113830 af_unix: Define a per-netns hash table.
This commit adds a per netns hash table for AF_UNIX, which size is fixed
as UNIX_HASH_SIZE for now.

The first implementation defines a per-netns hash table as a single array
of lock and list:

	struct unix_hashbucket {
		spinlock_t		lock;
		struct hlist_head	head;
	};

	struct netns_unix {
		struct unix_hashbucket	*hash;
		...
	};

But, Eric pointed out memory cost that the structure has holes because of
sizeof(spinlock_t), which is 4 (or more if LOCKDEP is enabled). [0]  It
could be expensive on a host with thousands of netns and few AF_UNIX
sockets.  For this reason, a per-netns hash table uses two dense arrays.

	struct unix_table {
		spinlock_t		*locks;
		struct hlist_head	*buckets;
	};

	struct netns_unix {
		struct unix_table	table;
		...
	};

Note the length of the list has a significant impact rather than lock
contention, so having shared locks can be an option.  But, per-netns
locks and lists still perform better than the global locks and per-netns
lists. [1]

Also, this patch adds a change so that struct netns_unix disappears from
struct net if CONFIG_UNIX is disabled.
