From: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>

unix_listen_saddr() replaces empty @path by unique value.  It obtains
the value by creating and deleting a unique temporary file with
mkstemp().  This is racy, as the comment explains.  It's also entirely
undocumented as far as I can tell.  Goes back to commit d247d25f18
"sockets: helper functions for qemu (Gerd Hoffman)", v0.10.0.

Since abstract socket addresses have no connection with filesystem
pathnames, making them up with mkstemp() seems inappropriate.  Bypass
the replacement of empty @path.
