internal/poll: fall back on unsupported splice from unix socket

Gracefully fallback to a userspace copy when the kernel does not support
splice(2) on a unix domain socket. EINVAL is returned by the splice
syscall if it does not support unix domain sockets. Keeping the handled
return value as false when the first splice call fails with EINVAL will
cause the caller to fall back to a userspace copy.

Fixes #27513
