[ Upstream commit d82ba05263c69fa2437fe93e4e561cc40f4c03af ]

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

  ...                                              `- queue_work()
  |                                                       |
  `- gc_in_progress = false                               |
                                                          |
  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().
