scsi: saner replacements for ->proc_info()

It's still an obsolete interface; don't introduce those in new drivers.
However, it's saner than the ->proc_info() and commits after this one
will convert the existing ->proc_info() users to it.

The read side is ->show_info(seq_file *, struct Scsi_Host *); use
seq_... for generating contents.

The write side is ->write_info(struct Scsi_Host *, char *, int).

Again, this is driven by procfs needs; we are going to kill ->write_proc()
and ->read_proc() and this is the main obstacle to burying that piece of

unix: fix a race condition in unix_release()

As reported by Jan, and others over the past few years, there is a
race condition caused by unix_release setting the sock->sk pointer
to NULL before properly marking the socket as dead/orphaned.  This
can cause a problem with the LSM hook security_unix_may_send() if
there is another socket attempting to write to this partially
released socket in between when sock->sk is set to NULL and it is
marked as dead/orphaned.  This patch fixes this by only setting
sock->sk to NULL after the socket has been marked as dead; I also
take the opportunity to make unix_release_sock() a void function
as it only ever returned 0/success.

Dave, I think this one should go on the -stable pile.

Special thanks to Jan for coming up with a reproducer for this
problem.
