af_unix: Skip GC if no cycle exists.


We do not need to run GC if there is no possible cyclic reference.
We use unix_graph_maybe_cyclic to decide if we should run GC.

If a fd of an AF_UNIX socket is passed to an already inflight AF_UNIX
socket, they could form a cyclic reference.  Then, we set true to
unix_graph_maybe_cyclic and later run Tarjan's algorithm to group
them into SCC.

Once we run Tarjan's algorithm, we are 100% sure whether cyclic
references exist or not.  If there is no cycle, we set false to
unix_graph_maybe_cyclic and can skip the entire garbage collection
next time.

When finalising SCC, we set true to unix_graph_maybe_cyclic if SCC
consists of multiple vertices.

Even if SCC is a single vertex, a cycle might exist as self-fd passing.
Given the corner case is rare, we detect it by checking all edges of
the vertex and set true to unix_graph_maybe_cyclic.

With this change, __unix_gc() is just a spin_lock() dance in the normal
usage.
