Additional information: The 'trick' of using recvmsg w/o a receive
buffer in order to retrieve control messages in fact wouldn't have
worked with the unix_stream_recvmsg prior to introduction of the
interruptible lock as that (judging from the git source) would have
triggered all the same issues,
- -EOPNOTSUP if a msg was available
- -EAGAIN if the code had to wait
- not receiving the creds if the -EAGAIN hadn't happened because
of the continue (that's the other patch)
IOW, that's a feature inadvertendly added by an otherwise useless code
change (mea culpa).
