It is in 3.13-ckt and basically all the stable branches.

Does the patch below fix this bug?

unix: Fix potential double-unlock in unix_dgram_sendmsg()

A datagram socket may be peered with itself, so that sk == other.ÂÂWe
use unix_state_double_lock() to lock sk and other in the right order,
which also guards against this and only locks the socket once, but we
then end up trying to unlock it twice.ÂÂAdd the check for sk != other.
