inetpeer: various changes
Try to reduce cache line contentions in peer management, to reduce IP defragmentation overhead. - peer_fake_node is marked 'const' to make sure its not modified. (tested with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y) - Group variables in two structures to reduce number of dirtied cache lines. One named "peers" for avl tree root, its number of entries, and associated lock. (candidate for RCU conversion) - A second one named "unused_peers" for unused list and its lock - Add a !list_empty() test in unlink_from_unused() to avoid taking lock when entry is not unused. - Use atomic_dec_and_lock() in inet_putpeer() to avoid taking lock in some cases.
