[PATCH net-next 0/7] mptcp: rx path refactor

[Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)]

Paolo worked on this RX path refactor for these two main reasons:

- Currently, the MPTCP RX path introduces quite a bit of 'exceptional'
  accounting/locking processing WRT to plain TCP, adding up to the
  implementation complexity in a miserable way.

- The performance gap WRT plain TCP for single subflow connections is
  quite measurable.

The present refactor addresses both the above items: most of the
additional complexity is dropped, and single stream performances
increase measurably, from 55Gbps to 71Gbps in Paolo's loopback test. As
a reference, plain TCP was around 84Gbps on the same host.

The above comes to a price: the patch are invasive, even in subtle ways.

Note: patch 5/7 removes the sk_forward_alloc_get() helper, which caused
some trivial modifications in different places in the net tree: sockets,
IPv4, sched. That's why a few more people have been Cc here. Feel free
to only look at this patch 5/7.
