Before changing dccp_v6_request_recv_sock() sock argument
to const, we need to get rid of security_sk_classify_flow(),
and it seems doable by reusing inet6_csk_route_req() helper.

We need to add a proto parameter to inet6_csk_route_req(),
not assume it is TCP.

<title>inet: get rid of central tcp/dccp listener timer</title>

One of the major issue for TCP is the SYNACK rtx handling,
done by inet_csk_reqsk_queue_prune(), fired by the keepalive
timer of a TCP_LISTEN socket.

This function runs for awful long times, with socket lock held,
meaning that other cpus needing this lock have to spin for hundred of ms.

SYNACK are sent in huge bursts, likely to cause severe drops anyway.

This model was OK 15 years ago when memory was very tight.

We now can afford to have a timer per request sock.

Timer invocations no longer need to lock the listener,
and can be run from all cpus in parallel.

With following patch increasing somaxconn width to 32 bits,
I tested a listener with more than 4 million active request sockets,
and a steady SYNFLOOD of ~200,000 SYN per second.
Host was sending ~830,000 SYNACK per second.

This is ~100 times more what we could achieve before this patch.

Later, we will get rid of the listener hash and use ehash instead.

When request sock are put in ehash table, the whole notion
of having a previous request to update dl_next is pointless.

Also, following patch will get rid of big purge timer,
so we want to delete a request sock without holding listener lock.

<title>ipv4: add a sock pointer to ip_queue_xmit()</title>

ip_queue_xmit() assumes the skb it has to transmit is attached to an
inet socket. Commit 31c70d5956fc ("l2tp: keep original skb ownership")
changed l2tp to not change skb ownership and thus broke this assumption.

One fix is to add a new 'struct sock *sk' parameter to ip_queue_xmit(),
so that we do not assume skb-&gt;sk points to the socket used by l2tp
tunnel.

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

This commit changes inet_csk_route_req() so that it uses a pointer to
a struct flowi6, rather than allocating its own on the stack. This
brings its behavior in line with its IPv4 cousin,
inet_csk_route_req(), and allows a follow-on patch to fix a dst leak.
