Subject: [PATCH v5 net-next 1/5] af_unix: Annotate data-race of gc_in_progress in wait_for_unix_gc().

gc_in_progress is changed under spin_lock(&unix_gc_lock),
but wait_for_unix_gc() reads it locklessly.

Let's use READ_ONCE().

Fixes: 5f23b734963e ("net: Fix soft lockups/OOM issues w/ unix garbage collector")
