af_unix: conditionally use freezable blocking calls in read
[ Upstream commit 06a77b07e3b44aea2b3c0e64de420ea2cfdcbaa9 ] Commit 2b15af6f95 ("af_unix: use freezable blocking calls in read") converts schedule_timeout() to its freezable version, it was probably correct at that time, but later, commit 2b514574f7e8 ("net: af_unix: implement splice for stream af_unix sockets") breaks the strong requirement for a freezable sleep, according to commit 0f9548ca1091: We shouldn't try_to_freeze if locks are held. Holding a lock can cause a deadlock if the lock is later acquired in the suspend or hibernate path (e.g. by dpm). Holding a lock can also cause a deadlock in the case of cgroup_freezer if a lock is held inside a frozen cgroup that is later acquired by a process outside that group. The pipe_lock is still held at that point. So use freezable version only for the recvmsg call path, avoid impact for Android.
