Rainer Weikusat 3822b5c2fc af_unix: Revert 'lock_interruptible' in stream receive code
With b3ca9b02b0, the AF_UNIX SOCK_STREAM
receive code was changed from using mutex_lock(&u->readlock) to
mutex_lock_interruptible(&u->readlock) to prevent signals from being
delayed for an indefinite time if a thread sleeping on the mutex
happened to be selected for handling the signal. But this was never a
problem with the stream receive code (as opposed to its datagram
counterpart) as that never went to sleep waiting for new messages with the
mutex held and thus, wouldn't cause secondary readers to block on the
mutex waiting for the sleeping primary reader. As the interruptible
locking makes the code more complicated in exchange for no benefit,
change it back to using mutex_lock.
