Maybe just lift the socket tate check in unix_stream_read_generic()?

Not sure why it is unclear here, for an connection oriented socket, it
can be closed for just one direction, in this case we want to prevent it
from being redirected in sockmap, hence the point of the commits.

Isn't this because we don't have shutdown() in sockmap tests?

Thanks.
