close() is called when the local closes the sockets, but when the remote
closes or disconnects it, unhash() is called. This is why TCP calls unhash()
to remove the socket from established socket hash table. unhash() itself
might not make much sense for AF_UNIX as it probably does not need a
hash table to track established ones, however, the idea is the same, that
is, we have to handle remote disconnections here.

Thanks.
