tcp/dccp: get rid of central timewait timer

Browse Source 
Using a timer wheel for timewait sockets was nice ~15 years ago when
memory was expensive and machines had a single processor.

This does not scale, code is ugly and source of huge latencies
(Typically 30 ms have been seen, cpus spinning on death_lock spinlock.)

We can afford to use an extra 64 bytes per timewait sock and spread
timewait load to all cpus to have better behavior.

Tested:

On following test, /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_recycle is set to 1
on the target (lpaa24)

Before patch :

lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
419594

lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
437171

While test is running, we can observe 25 or even 33 ms latencies.

lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23
...
1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 20601ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.020/0.217/25.771/1.535 ms, pipe 2

lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23
...
1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 20702ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.019/0.183/33.761/1.441 ms, pipe 2

After patch :

About 90% increase of throughput :

lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
810442

lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
800992

And latencies are kept to minimal values during this load, even
if network utilization is 90% higher :

lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23
...
1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 19991ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.023/0.064/0.360/0.042 ms
