This reverts commit dd979b4df817e9976f18fb6f9d134d6bc4a3c317.

This broke tcp_poll for SMC fallback: An AF_SMC socket establishes an
internal TCP socket for the initial handshake with the remote peer.
Whenever the SMC connection can not be established this TCP socket is
used as a fallback. All socket operations on the SMC socket are then
forwarded to the TCP socket. In case of poll, the file-&gt;private_data
pointer references the SMC socket because the TCP socket has no file
assigned. This causes tcp_poll to wait on the wrong socket.

<title>af_unix: ensure POLLOUT on remote close() for connected dgram socket</title>

<content type='text'>
Applications use -ECONNREFUSED as returned from write() in order to
determine that a socket should be closed. However, when using connected
dgram unix sockets in a poll/write loop, a final POLLOUT event can be
missed when the remote end closes. Thus, the poll is stuck forever:

          thread 1 (client)                   thread 2 (server)

connect() to server
write() returns -EAGAIN
unix_dgram_poll()
 -&gt; unix_recvq_full() is true
                                       close()
                                        -&gt;unix_release_sock()
                                         -&gt;wake_up_interruptible_all()
unix_dgram_poll() (due to the
     wake_up_interruptible_all)
 -&gt; unix_recvq_full() still is true
                                         -&gt;free all skbs

Now thread 1 is stuck and will not receive anymore wakeups. In this
case, when thread 1 gets the -EAGAIN, it has not queued any skbs
otherwise the 'free all skbs' step would in fact cause a wakeup and
a POLLOUT return. So the race here is probably fairly rare because
it means there are no skbs that thread 1 queued and that thread 1
schedules before the 'free all skbs' step.

This issue was reported as a hang when /dev/log is closed.

The fix is to signal POLLOUT if the socket is marked as SOCK_DEAD, which
means a subsequent write() will get -ECONNREFUSED.

<title>Revert changes to convert to -&gt;poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLL</title>

The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained.  They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"-&gt;poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.

Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
"-&gt;get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
to the poll head instead.  That gets rid of one of the new indirections.

But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
for the regular case.  The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
redesign.

[ This revert is a revert of about 30 different commits, not reverted
  individually because that would just be unnecessarily messy  - Linus ]

After commit 581319c58600 ("net/socket: use per af lockdep classes for sk queues")
sock queue locks now have per-af lockdep classes, including unix socket.
It is no longer necessary to workaround it.

I noticed this while looking at a syzbot deadlock report, this patch
itself doesn't fix it (this is why I don't add Reported-by).
