AF_UNIX: make unix socket locking finer grained
This change moves to using a reference count across lock drop / reacquire
to guarantee liveness.
Currently sends on unix sockets contend heavily on read locking the list lock.
unix1_processes in will-it-scale peaks at 6 processes and then declines.
With this change I get a substantial improvement in number of operations per second
with 96 processes:
