You do realize that ->release() might come from seriously unexpected places,
right? E.g. recvmsg() by something that doesn't expect SCM_RIGHTS attached
to it will end up with all struct file references stashed into the sucker
dropped, and if by that time that's the last reference - welcome to ->release()
run as soon as recepient hits task_work_run().
What's more, if you stash that into garbage for unix_gc() to pick, *any*
process closing an AF_UNIX socket might end up running your ->release().
So you really do *not* want to spawn any threads there, let alone
possibly exfiltrating memory contents of happy recepient of your present...
