I've checked io_uring and it keeps a ref to the related file for the
lifetime the I/O request. So I think we are good there and it's only
sockmap that is "bleeding".

I agree it would be best not to hamper unix_stream sendmsg performance.

At the same time, I think we can easily make the extra ref grab in
unix_stream_sendmsg optional, keeping the fast path fast (modulo 2x a
branch op).

I realize RCU would be a bigger, riskier overhaul. Perhaps not worth it,
if there are no benefits for "the regular" unix_stream users.

If we can avoid managing more state in psock, that would be my
preference. But I don't want to block any fixes that users are waiting
for.
