    udp: no longer use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU · ca065d0c
    Eric Dumazet authored
    Tom Herbert would like not touching UDP socket refcnt for encapsulated
    traffic. For this to happen, we need to use normal RCU rules, with a grace
    period before freeing a socket. UDP sockets are not short lived in the
    high usage case, so the added cost of call_rcu() should not be a concern.
    
    This actually removes a lot of complexity in UDP stack.
    
    Multicast receives no longer need to hold a bucket spinlock.
    
    Note that ip early demux still needs to take a reference on the socket.
    
    Same remark for functions used by xt_socket and xt_PROXY netfilter modules,
    but this might be changed later.
    
    Performance for a single UDP socket receiving flood traffic from
    many RX queues/cpus.
    
    Simple udp_rx using simple recvfrom() loop :
    438 kpps instead of 374 kpps : 17 % increase of the peak rate.
    
    v2: Addressed Willem de Bruijn feedback in multicast handling
     - keep early demux break in __udp4_lib_demux_lookup()
