net: add sk->sk_drop_counters

Browse source

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/
