The kernel tried to open UNIX domain socket but because support is not
compiled it will load the module instead. Now, glibc-based programs
happen to try to connect to nscd via a UNIX domain socket on startup
and the whole show starts all over. After a few iterations the kernel
gets tired of the whole game and prints this friendly message.

net-pf-1 is PF_UNIX, see the definitions in include/linux/socket.h. So
you should set CONFIG_UNIX to y. Building it as a module won't work
as you just found :).
