af_unix: Introduce SO_INQ.



We have an application that uses almost the same code for TCP and
AF_UNIX (SOCK_STREAM).

TCP can use TCP_INQ, but AF_UNIX doesn't have it and requires an
extra syscall, ioctl(SIOCINQ) or getsockopt(SO_MEMINFO) as an
alternative.

Let's introduce the generic version of TCP_INQ.

If SO_INQ is enabled, recvmsg() will put a cmsg of SCM_INQ that
contains the exact value of ioctl(SIOCINQ).  The cmsg is also
included when msg->msg_get_inq is non-zero to make sockets
io_uring-friendly.

Note that SOCK_CUSTOM_SOCKOPT is flagged only for SOCK_STREAM to
override setsockopt() for SOL_SOCKET.

By having the flag in struct unix_sock, instead of struct sock, we
can later add SO_INQ support for TCP and reuse tcp_sk(sk)->recvmsg_inq.

Note also that supporting custom getsockopt() for SOL_SOCKET will need
preparation for other SOCK_CUSTOM_SOCKOPT users (UDP, vsock, MPTCP).
