Pavel Begunkov 7cb31c46b9 net: cache for same cpu skb_attempt_defer_free
Optimise skb_attempt_defer_free() when run by the same CPU the skb was
allocated on. Instead of __kfree_skb() -> kmem_cache_free() we can
disable softirqs and put the buffer into cpu local caches.

CPU bound TCP ping pong style benchmarking (i.e. netbench) showed a 1%
throughput increase (392.2 -> 396.4 Krps). Cross checking with profiles,
the total CPU share of skb_attempt_defer_free() dropped by 0.6%. Note,
I'd expect the win doubled with rx only benchmarks, as the optimisation
is for the receive path, but the test spends >55% of CPU doing writes.

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.
