af_unix: Relax race in unix_autobind().
When we bind an AF_UNIX socket without a name specified, the kernel selects an available one from 0x00000 to 0xFFFFF. unix_autobind() starts searching from a number in the 'static' variable and increments it after acquiring two locks. If multiple processes try autobind, they obtain the same lock and check if a socket in the hash list has the same name. If not, one process uses it, and all except one end up retrying the _next_ number (actually not, it may be incremented by the other processes). The more we autobind sockets in parallel, the longer the latency gets. We can avoid such a race by searching for a name from a random number. These show latency in unix_autobind() while 64 CPUs are simultaneously autobind-ing 1024 sockets for each.
