af_unix: optimize unix_dgram_poll()

Browse source 
unix_dgram_poll() is pretty expensive to check POLLOUT status, because
it has to lock the socket to get its peer, take a reference on the peer
to check its receive queue status, and queue another poll_wait on
peer_wait. This all can be avoided if the process calling
unix_dgram_poll() is not interested in POLLOUT status. It makes
unix_dgram_recvmsg() faster by not queueing irrelevant pollers in
peer_wait.

On a test program provided by Alan Crequy :

Before:

real    0m0.211s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.208s

After:

real    0m0.044s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.040s
