When `skb_splice_from_iter` was introduced, it inadvertently added
checksumming for AF_UNIX sockets. This resulted in significant
slowdowns, for example when using sendfile over unix sockets.
Using the test code in [1] in my test setup (2G single core qemu),
the client receives a 1000M file in:
- without the patch: 1482ms (+/- 36ms)
- with the patch: 652.5ms (+/- 22.9ms)
This commit addresses the issue by marking checksumming as unnecessary in
`unix_stream_sendmsg`
