af_unix: Fix regression by the per-netns hash table series.
The series 6dd4142fb5a9 ("Merge branch 'af_unix-per-netns-socket-hash'")
replaced a global hash table with per-netns tables, which caused regression
reported in the links below. [0][1]
When a pathname socket is visible, any socket with the same type has to be
able to connect to it even in different netns. The series puts all sockets
into each namespace's hash table, making it impossible to look up a visible
socket in different netns.
On the other hand, while dumping sockets, they are filtered by netns. To
keep such code simple, let's add a new global hash table only for pathname
sockets and link them with sk_bind_node. Then we can keep all sockets in
each per-netns table and look up pathname sockets via the global table.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
