unix: properly account for FDs passed over unix sockets
commit 712f4aad406bb1ed67f3f98d04c044191f0ff593 upstream.
It is possible for a process to allocate and accumulate far more FDs than
the process' limit by sending them over a unix socket then closing them
to keep the process' fd count low.
This change addresses this problem by keeping track of the number of FDs
in flight per user and preventing non-privileged processes from having
more FDs in flight than their configured FD limit.
