A fix would be to change unix_poll() and not call sk_data_ready() when
skb is requeued.

if (!skb_queue_empty(&sk->sk_receive_queue))
mask |= POLLIN | POLLRDNORM;

Might be tricky if we want to keep unix_poll() lockless, but quite
possible.

Or... not dequeue skb from sk_received_queue unless fully consumed.
