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, 284922f has a 6.1% performance improvement comparing
> to parent 17d85f3.
> we applied your patch directly upon 284922f. as below, now by
> "284922f4c5 + your patch"
> we observe a 12.8% performance improvements (still comparing to 17d85f3).
Note nothing was done for the other fields, so some fluctuation is still
possible.
