When checking to see if our unix domain socket was stolen, also check
whether the st.st_dev and st.st_mode fields changed (in addition to
the st.st_ino field).

The inode by itself is not unique; it is only unique on a given
device.

Why remove that comment?  (This change is not mentioned in the commit
message.)

I added it as a TODO to myself thinking that it might give us
additional assurances on some platforms while I was originally
getting things working.  In hindsight (and now that we have the
lockfile helping us), I didn't think it was actually needed, so
I removed it.

I didn't think it warranted a mention in the commit message.
