af_unix: Drop oob_skb ref before purging queue in GC.
syzbot reported another task hung in __unix_gc(). [0]
The current while loop assumes that all of the left candidates
have oob_skb and calling kfree_skb(oob_skb) releases the remaining
candidates.
However, I missed a case that oob_skb has self-referencing fd and
another fd and the latter sk is placed before the former in the
candidate list. Then, the while loop never proceeds, resulting
the task hung.
__unix_gc() has the same loop just before purging the collected skb,
so we can call kfree_skb(oob_skb) there and let __skb_queue_purge()
release all inflight sockets.
