af_unix: Remove dead code in unix_stream_read_generic().
When splice() support was added in commit 2b514574 ("net: af_unix: implement splice for stream af_unix sockets"), we had to release unix_sk(sk)->readlock (current iolock) before calling splice_to_pipe(). Due to the unlock, commit 73ed5d25 ("af-unix: fix use-after-free with concurrent readers while splicing") added a safeguard in unix_stream_read_generic(); we had to bump the skb refcount before calling ->recv_actor() and then check if the skb was consumed by a concurrent reader. However, the pipe side locking was refactored, and since commit 25869262 ("skb_splice_bits(): get rid of callback"), we can call splice_to_pipe() without releasing unix_sk(sk)->iolock. Now, the skb is always alive after the ->recv_actor() callback, so let's remove the unnecessary drop_skb logic. This is mostly the revert of commit 73ed5d25 ("af-unix: fix use-after-free with concurrent readers while splicing").
