tcp: implement coalescing on backlog queue
In case GRO is not as efficient as it should be or disabled, we might have a user thread trapped in __release_sock() while softirq handler flood packets up to the point we have to drop. This patch balances work done from user thread and softirq, to give more chances to __release_sock() to complete its work before new packets are added the the backlog. This also helps if we receive many ACK packets, since GRO does not aggregate them. This patch brings ~60% throughput increase on a receiver without GRO, but the spectacular gain is really on 1000x release_sock() latency reduction I have measured.
