af_unix: Skip GC if no cycle exists.
We do not need to run GC if there is no possible cyclic reference. We use unix_graph_maybe_cyclic to decide if we should run GC. If a fd of an AF_UNIX socket is passed to an already inflight AF_UNIX socket, they could form a cyclic reference. Then, we set true to unix_graph_maybe_cyclic and later run Tarjan's algorithm to group them into SCC. Once we run Tarjan's algorithm, we are 100% sure whether cyclic references exist or not. If there is no cycle, we set false to unix_graph_maybe_cyclic and can skip the entire garbage collection next time. When finalising SCC, we set true to unix_graph_maybe_cyclic if SCC consists of multiple vertices. Even if SCC is a single vertex, a cycle might exist as self-fd passing. Given the corner case is rare, we detect it by checking all edges of the vertex and set true to unix_graph_maybe_cyclic. With this change, __unix_gc() is just a spin_lock() dance in the normal usage.
