Subject: [PATCH] tcp: do not lock listener to process SYN packets

Everything should now be ready to finally allow SYN
packets processing without holding listener lock.

Tested:

3.5 Mpps SYNFLOOD. Plenty of cpu cycles available.

Next bottleneck is the refcount taken on listener,
that could be avoided if we remove SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU
strict semantic for listeners, and use regular RCU.

    13.18%  [kernel]  [k] __inet_lookup_listener
     9.61%  [kernel]  [k] tcp_conn_request
     8.16%  [kernel]  [k] sha_transform
     5.30%  [kernel]  [k] inet_reqsk_alloc
     4.22%  [kernel]  [k] sock_put
     3.74%  [kernel]  [k] tcp_make_synack
     2.88%  [kernel]  [k] ipt_do_table
     2.56%  [kernel]  [k] memcpy_erms
     2.53%  [kernel]  [k] sock_wfree
     2.40%  [kernel]  [k] tcp_v4_rcv
     2.08%  [kernel]  [k] fib_table_lookup
     1.84%  [kernel]  [k] tcp_openreq_init_rwin
