af_unix: Don't access successor in unix_del_edges() during GC.

syzbot reported use-after-free in unix_del_edges(). [0]

What the repro does is basically repeat the following quickly.

1. pass a fd of an AF_UNIX socket to itself

socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_DGRAM, 0, [3, 4]) = 0
sendmsg(3, {..., msg_control=[{cmsg_len=20, cmsg_level=SOL_SOCKET,
cmsg_type=SCM_RIGHTS, cmsg_data=[4]}], ...}, 0) = 0

2. pass other fds of AF_UNIX sockets to the socket above

socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0, [5, 6]) = 0
sendmsg(3, {..., msg_control=[{cmsg_len=48, cmsg_level=SOL_SOCKET,
cmsg_type=SCM_RIGHTS, cmsg_data=[5, 6]}], ...}, 0) = 0

3. close all sockets

Here, two skb are created, and every unix_edge->successor is the first
socket. Then, __unix_gc() will garbage-collect the two skb:

(a) free skb with self-referencing fd
(b) free skb holding other sockets

After (a), the self-referencing socket will be scheduled to be freed
later by the delayed_fput() task.

syzbot repeated the sequences above (1. ~ 3.) quickly and triggered
the task concurrently while GC was running.

So, at (b), the socket was already freed, and accessing it was illegal.

unix_del_edges() accesses the receiver socket as edge->successor to
optimise GC. However, we should not do it during GC.

Garbage-collecting sockets does not change the shape of the rest
of the graph, so we need not call unix_update_graph() to update
unix_graph_grouped when we purge skb.

However, if we clean up all loops in the unix_walk_scc_fast() path,
unix_graph_maybe_cyclic remains unchanged (true), and __unix_gc()
will call unix_walk_scc_fast() continuously even though there is no
socket to garbage-collect.

To keep that optimisation while fixing UAF, let's add the same
updating logic of unix_graph_maybe_cyclic in unix_walk_scc_fast()
as done in unix_walk_scc() and __unix_walk_scc().

Note that when unix_del_edges() is called from other places, the
receiver socket is always alive:

- sendmsg: the successor's sk_refcnt is bumped by sock_hold()
unix_find_other() for SOCK_DGRAM, connect() for SOCK_STREAM

- recvmsg: the successor is the receiver, and its fd is alive
