af_unix: annotate unix_gc_lock with __cacheline_aligned_in_smp
Otherwise the lock is susceptible to ever-changing false-sharing due to unrelated changes. This in particular popped up here where an unrelated change improved performance: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202511281306.51105b46-lkp@intel.com/ Stabilize it with an explicit annotation which also has a side effect of furher improving scalability: > in our oiginal report, 284922f4c5 has a 6.1% performance improvement comparing > to parent 17d85f33a8. > we applied your patch directly upon 284922f4c5. as below, now by > "284922f4c5 + your patch" > we observe a 12.8% performance improvements (still comparing to 17d85f33a8). Note nothing was done for the other fields, so some fluctuation is still possible.
