Sunday Adelodun ec538867a3 net: unix: remove outdated BSD behavior comment in unix_release_sock()
Remove the long-standing comment in unix_release_sock() that described a
behavioral difference between Linux and BSD regarding when ECONNRESET is
sent to connected UNIX sockets upon closure.

As confirmed by testing on macOS (similar to BSD behavior), ECONNRESET
is only observed for SOCK_DGRAM sockets, not for SOCK_STREAM. Meanwhile,
Linux already returns ECONNRESET in cases where a socket is closed with
unread data or is not yet accept()ed. This means the previous comment no
longer accurately describes current behavior and is misleading.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
