PATCH 1/1 af_unix: Set gc_in_progress to true in unix_gc().

From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit d82ba05263c69fa2437fe93e4e561cc40f4c03af ]

Igor Ushakov reported that unix_gc() could run with gc_in_progress being false if the work is scheduled while running:

unix_gc() <---------------------------------------------' |
... /* gc_in_progress == false */

`- gc_in_progress = false

unix_peek_fpl() relies on gc_in_progress not to confuse GC by MSG_PEEK.

Let's set gc_in_progress to true in unix_gc().

[ Add setting gc_in_progress in __unix_gc(). Keep the existing
set in unix_gc() for wait_for_unix_gc() over-limit throttling. ]
