[PATCH 5/8] unix-stream-server: add st_dev and st_mode to socket stolen checks

From

Message-ID
<89100959528c6a3c16622cf86e6920273f5ed2d3.1614889047.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.893.git.1614889047.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Jeff Hostetler <jeffhost@microsoft.com>

When checking to see if our unix domain socket was stolen, also check whether the st.st_dev and st.st_mode fields changed (in addition to the st.st_ino field).

The inode by itself is not unique; it is only unique on a given device.
