net/unix: do not forget to autobind in standard case

A program using recvmsg on an AF_LOCAL datagram socket does not
receive the peer's address when the remote has not issued a bind. This
makes it impossible to send messages back. (But the same _does_ work
in IP.) The cause for this is because autobinding was only done when
credential passing was requested.

The shown test program outputs:

getsockname gives 16
Received 2 bytes, and sk2_size is 16. Text: Hi
reply text: World

getsockname gives 2
Received 2 bytes, and sk2_size is 0. Text: Hi
sendto fd1: Transport endpoint is not connected
Aborted

getsockname gives 8
Received 2 bytes, and sk2_size is 8. Text: Hi
reply text: World

It would be good you did some research and tell us why current code
tests SOCK_PASSCRED

There must be a reason this restrictive code is here, dont you think ?

I definitely think that test is intentional.  I'm not applying this
without at least some basic research.
