[AF_UNIX]: scm: better initialization
Instead of doing a memset then initialization of the fields of the scm
structure, just initialize all the members explicitly. Prevent reloading
of current on x86 and x86-64 by storing the value in a local variable for
subsequent dereferences. This is worth a ~7KB/s increase in af_unix
bandwidth. Note that we avoid the issues surrounding potentially
uninitialized members of the ucred structure by constructing a struct
ucred instead of assigning the members individually, which forces the
compiler to zero any padding.
[ I modified the patch not to use the aggregate assignment since
gcc-3.4.x and earlier cannot optimize that properly at all even
though gcc-4.0.x and later can -DaveM ]
