Eric Dumazet 86c2bc293b tcp: use RCU lookup in __inet_hash_connect()
When __inet_hash_connect() has to try many 4-tuples before
finding an available one, we see a high spinlock cost from
the many spin_lock_bh(&head->lock) performed in its loop.

This patch adds an RCU lookup to avoid the spinlock cost.

check_established() gets a new @rcu_lookup argument.
First reason is to not make any changes while head->lock
is not held.
Second reason is to not make this RCU lookup a second time
after the spinlock has been acquired.

Tested:

Server:

ulimit -n 40000; neper/tcp_crr -T 200 -F 30000 -6 --nolog

Client:

ulimit -n 40000; neper/tcp_crr -T 200 -F 30000 -6 --nolog -c -H server

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
