Are you sure its needed for unix_stream case ?

We dont do this for TCP for example, only for datagrams.

As shown in the past, sock_recv_timestamp() is a bit expensive because
it takes care of many possible options.

It would be better to use in AF_UNIX case (only software timestamps) :

Solution 1) 
if (sock_flag(sk, SOCK_RCVTSTAMP))
	__sock_recv_timestamp(msg, sk, skb);

Solution 2) 
Or something already used elsewhere since 2.6.35 and commit
767dd03369ac1 (net: speedup sock_recv_ts_and_drops()) :

sock_recv_ts_and_drops(msg, sk, skb);


I would vote for the 1) solution
