skb_defer_max value is very conservative, and can be increased
to avoid too many calls to kick_defer_list_purge().

____cacheline_aligned_in_smp attribute only makes sure to align
a field to a cache line. It does not prevent the linker to use
the remaining of the cache line for other variables, causing
potential false sharing.

Move tcp_memory_allocated into a dedicated cache line.

<title>net: introduce per netns packet chains</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently network taps unbound to any interface are linked in the
global ptype_all list, affecting the performance in all the network
namespaces.

Add per netns ptypes chains, so that in the mentioned case only
the netns owning the packet socket(s) is affected.

While at that drop the global ptype_all list: no in kernel user
registers a tap on "any" type without specifying either the target
device or the target namespace (and IMHO doing that would not make
any sense).

Note that this adds a conditional in the fast path (to check for
per netns ptype_specific list) and increases the dataset size by
a cacheline (owing the per netns lists).
