Eric Dumazet c51613fa27 net: add sk->sk_drop_counters
Some sockets suffer from heavy false sharing on sk->sk_drops,
and fields in the same cache line.

Add sk->sk_drop_counters to:

- move the drop counter(s) to dedicated cache lines.
- Add basic NUMA awareness to these drop counter(s).

Following patches will use this infrastructure for UDP and RAW sockets.

sk_clone_lock() is not yet ready, it would need to properly
set newsk->sk_drop_counters if we plan to use this for TCP sockets.

v2: used Paolo suggestion from https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/8f09830a-d83d-43c9-b36b-88ba0a23e9b2@redhat.com/

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
