D10409: In linux don't use abstract socket to share file descriptor

[Oswald Buddenhagen]

ossi added a comment.


  the idea is that you can do directory-based access controls on file-based sockets, while the abstract namespace has no controls.
  otoh, only linux has the abstract namespace, and it supports peer credential verification as well, so this doesn't actually add any security afaict.
  arguably, the patch still makes sense from a maintenance perspective, removing a redundant code path.
  fwiw, i'd re-order this patch before the other one - it makes for smaller patches to first remove code and then refactor only what's left.
