flow: delayed deletion of flow cache entries
Speed up lookups by freeing flow cache entries later. After
virtualizing flow cache entry operations, the flow cache may now
end up calling policy or bundle destructor which can be slowish.
As gc_list is more effective with double linked list, the flow cache
is converted to use common hlist and list macroes where appropriate.

xfrm: cache bundles instead of policies for outgoing flows
__xfrm_lookup() is called for each packet transmitted out of
system. The xfrm_find_bundle() does a linear search which can
kill system performance depending on how many bundles are
required per policy.
This modifies __xfrm_lookup() to store bundles directly in
the flow cache. If we did not get a hit, we just create a new
bundle instead of doing slow search. This means that we can now
get multiple xfrm_dst's for same flow (on per-cpu basis).

flow: virtualize flow cache entry methods
This allows to validate the cached object before returning it.
It also allows to destruct object properly, if the last reference
was held in flow cache. This is also a prepartion for caching
bundles in the flow cache.
In return for virtualizing the methods, we save on:
- not having to regenerate the whole flow cache on policy removal:
each flow matching a killed policy gets refreshed as the getter
function notices it smartly.
- we do not have to call flow_cache_flush from policy gc, since the

flow: structurize flow cache
Group all per-cpu data to one structure instead of having many
globals. Also prepare the internals so that we can have multiple
instances of the flow cache if needed.
Only the kmem_cache is left as a global as all flow caches share
the same element size, and benefit from using a common cache.

xfrm: remove policy lock when accessing policy->walk.dead
All of the code considers ->dead as a hint that the cached policy
needs to get refreshed. The read side can just drop the read lock
without any side effects.
The write side needs to make sure that it's written only exactly
once. Only possible race is at xfrm_policy_kill(). This is fixed
by checking result of __xfrm_policy_unlink() when needed. It will
always succeed if the policy object is looked up from the hash
list (so some checks are removed), but it needs to be checked if
we are trying to unlink policy via a reference (appropriate
checks added).
Since policy->walk.dead is written exactly once, it no longer
needs to be protected with a write lock.

The xfrm state genid only needs to be matched against the copy

fact, we don't even need to initialise it.

The head element of rt6_info{} is dst_entry{}, and
IPv6 specific elements follow.
Because elements at the end of dst_entry{} are frequently
updated, it is not good to put frequently-used static
elements, such as rt6i_idev, rt6i_dst or rt6i_flags in the
same cache line.
On the other hand, fib6_table, rt6i_node or rt6i_gateway are
rarely used, so it is okay to stay in the same cache line.
Let's rearrange rt6_info{}.

gen_estimator: deadlock fix
One of my test machine got a deadlock during "tc" sessions,
adding/deleting classes & filters, using traffic estimators.
After some analysis, I believe we have a potential use after free case
in est_timer() :
spin_lock(e->stats_lock); << HERE >>
read_lock(&est_lock);
if (e->bstats == NULL) << TEST >>
goto skip;
Test is done a bit late, because after estimator is killed, and before
rcu grace period elapsed, we might already have freed/reuse memory where
e->stats_locks points to (some qdisc->q.lock)
A possible fix is to respect a rcu grace period at Qdisc dismantle time.
On 64bit, sizeof(struct Qdisc) is exactly 192 bytes. Adding 16 bytes to
it (for struct rcu_head) is a problem because it might change
performance, given QDISC_ALIGNTO is 32 bytes.
This is why I also change QDISC_ALIGNTO to 64 bytes, to satisfy most
current alignment requirements.
