I think I know what could go wrong there, but due to other bug, this
wrongness cannot be realized now.

Issue is that for the forced unmount, the unp_vnode is reclaimed, so that
the unix domain sockets code references freed memory after reclaim.

Probably, some helper should provided by uipc_usrreq, called from VOP_RECLAIM()
implementations for VSOCK types of vnodes.
