[PATCH] unix: use wq_has_sleeper in unix_dgram_recvmsg

[Rainer Weikusat]

The current unix_dgram_recvmsg does a wake up for every received
datagram. This seems wasteful as only SOCK_DGRAM client sockets in an
n:1 association with a server socket will ever wait because of the
associated condition. The patch below changes the function such that the
wake up only happens if wq_has_sleeper indicates that someone actually
wants to be notified. Testing with SOCK_SEQPACKET and SOCK_DGRAM socket
seems to confirm that this is an improvment.
