While stress testing TCP I had unexpected retransmits and sack packets
when a single cpu receives data from multiple high-throughput flows.

After analysis, it appears this is because of the cond_resched()
call from __release_sock().
When current thread is yielding, while still holding the TCP socket lock,
it might regain the cpu after a very long time.
Other peer TLP/RTO is firing (multiple times) and packets are retransmit,
while the initial copy is waiting in the socket backlog or receive queue.
In this patch, I call cond_resched() only once every 16 packets.
Modern TCP stack now spends less time per packet in the backlog,
especially because ACK are no longer sent (commit
