Hi!
I was looking at the test wondering why do you try to unlink socket that
wasn't bind properly and it looks like kernel creates the socket even in
a case that the bind fails, which is strange and I would call it a bug.

Looking at the kernel code it indeed does mknod before it takes locks
and checks the socket. Even more it turns out that there is in-flight
patchset that is fixing this:

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/YDQAmH9zSsaqf+Dg@zeniv-ca.linux.org.uk/

Anyways for now moved the code initializing the sockets into a setup()
function and the only call that had to stay in the run() function is the
unlink(SNAME_B); with a comment that kernel is buggy.

And we will have to write a regression test for this bug once upstream
kernel is fixed.

Also note that I use unlink() here since the test will fail otherwise
once kernel is fixed and there is no socket to be unlinked.
