Subject: [PATCH] af_unix: fix unix_nr_socks check in unix_create1()

This patch complements 518de9b3 ("fs: allow for more than 2^31 files").

get_max_files() returns files_stat.max_files, which can be set to any
value from user space via /proc/sys/fs/file-max.  A large file-max will
cause an integer overflow in the following check:

	if (atomic_long_read(&unix_nr_socks) > 2 * get_max_files())
		goto out;

The kernel will then fail to create a unix domain socket.

Rewrite the check using "/ 2" on the left-hand side.
