Eric Dumazet says:

====================
netns: speedup netns dismantles

netns are dismantled by a single thread, from cleanup_net()

On hosts with many TCP sockets, and/or many cpus, this thread
is spending too many cpu cycles, and can not keep up with some
workloads.

- Removing 3*num_possible_cpus() sockets per netns, for icmp and tcp protocols.
- Iterating over all TCP sockets to remove stale timewait sockets.

This patch series removes ~50% of cleanup_net() cpu costs on
hosts with 256 cpus. It also reduces per netns memory footprint.
