Forgot to refresh this patch before sending. The one that I tested with
is below.

Thanks,

Now that connect() permanently registers a callback routine, we can induce
extra overhead in unix_dgram_recvmsg(), which unconditionally wakes up
its peer_wait queue on every receive. This patch makes the wakeup there
conditional on there being waiters.

Tested using: http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg145533.html
