While possibly in future we don't necessarily need to use sk_buff_head.lock this is a rather larger change, as it affects the af_unix fd garbage collector, diag and socket cleanups. This is too much for a stable patch.
For the time being grab sk_buff_head.lock without disabling bh and irqs, so don't use locked skb_queue_tail.
