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`

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
