timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

As mentioned in commit 648700f76b03 ("inet: frags:
use rhashtables for reassembly units"):

  A followup patch will even remove the refcount hold/release
  left from prior implementation and save a couple of atomic
  operations.

This patch implements this idea, seven years later.

In the following patch, we no longer assume inet_frag_kill()
callers own a reference.

Consuming two refcounts from inet_frag_kill() would lead in UAF.

Propagate the pointer to the refs that will be consumed later
by the final inet_frag_putn() call.

<title>net: Rename mono_delivery_time to tstamp_type for scalabilty</title>

mono_delivery_time was added to check if skb-&gt;tstamp has delivery
time in mono clock base (i.e. EDT) otherwise skb-&gt;tstamp has
timestamp in ingress and delivery_time at egress.

Renaming the bitfield from mono_delivery_time to tstamp_type is for
extensibilty for other timestamps such as userspace timestamp
(i.e. SO_TXTIME) set via sock opts.

As we are renaming the mono_delivery_time to tstamp_type, it makes
sense to start assigning tstamp_type based on enum defined
in this commit.

Earlier we used bool arg flag to check if the tstamp is mono in
function skb_set_delivery_time, Now the signature of the functions
accepts tstamp_type to distinguish between mono and real time.

Also skb_set_delivery_type_by_clockid is a new function which accepts
clockid to determine the tstamp_type.

In future tstamp_type:1 can be extended to support userspace timestamp
by increasing the bitfield.

fqdir_free_fn() is using very expensive rcu_barrier()

When one netns is dismantled, we often call fqdir_exit()
multiple times, typically lauching fqdir_free_fn() twice.

Delaying by one second fqdir_free_fn() helps to reduce
the number of rcu_barrier() calls, and lock contention
on rcu_state.barrier_mutex.

<title>inet: inet_defrag: prevent sk release while still in use</title>

ip_local_out() and other functions can pass skb-&gt;sk as function argument.

If the skb is a fragment and reassembly happens before such function call
returns, the sk must not be released.

This affects skb fragments reassembled via netfilter or similar
modules, e.g. openvswitch or ct_act.c, when run as part of tx pipeline.

Eric Dumazet made an initial analysis of this bug.  Quoting Eric:
  Calling ip_defrag() in output path is also implying skb_orphan(),
  which is buggy because output path relies on sk not disappearing.

  A relevant old patch about the issue was :
  8282f27449bf ("inet: frag: Always orphan skbs inside ip_defrag()")

  [..]

  net/ipv4/ip_output.c depends on skb-&gt;sk being set, and probably to an
  inet socket, not an arbitrary one.

  If we orphan the packet in ipvlan, then downstream things like FQ
  packet scheduler will not work properly.

  We need to change ip_defrag() to only use skb_orphan() when really
  needed, ie whenever frag_list is going to be used.

Eric suggested to stash sk in fragment queue and made an initial patch.
However there is a problem with this:

If skb is refragmented again right after, ip_do_fragment() will copy
head-&gt;sk to the new fragments, and sets up destructor to sock_wfree.
IOW, we have no choice but to fix up sk_wmem accouting to reflect the
fully reassembled skb, else wmem will underflow.

This change moves the orphan down into the core, to last possible moment.
As ip_defrag_offset is aliased with sk_buff-&gt;sk member, we must move the
offset into the FRAG_CB, else skb-&gt;sk gets clobbered.

This allows to delay the orphaning long enough to learn if the skb has
to be queued or if the skb is completing the reasm queue.

In the former case, things work as before, skb is orphaned.  This is
safe because skb gets queued/stolen and won't continue past reasm engine.

In the latter case, we will steal the skb-&gt;sk reference, reattach it to
the head skb, and fix up wmem accouting when inet_frag inflates truesize.

A latter patch will postpone the delivery_time clearing until the stack
knows the skb is being delivered locally.  That will allow other kernel
forwarding path (e.g. ip[6]_forward) to keep the delivery_time also.

An earlier attempt was to do skb_clear_delivery_time() in
ip_local_deliver() and ip6_input().  The discussion [0] requested
to move it one step later into ip_local_deliver_finish()
and ip6_input_finish() so that the delivery_time can be kept
for the ip_vs forwarding path also.

To do that, this patch also needs to take care of the (rcv) timestamp
usecase in ip_is_fragment().  It needs to expect delivery_time in
the skb-&gt;tstamp, so it needs to save the mono_delivery_time bit in
inet_frag_queue such that the delivery_time (if any) can be restored
in the final defragmented skb.

[Note that it will only happen when the locally generated skb is looping
 from egress to ingress over a virtual interface (e.g. veth, loopback...),
 skb-&gt;tstamp may have the delivery time before it is known that it will
 be delivered locally and received by another sk.]

inet_frag_queue such that the delivery_time (if any) can be restored
in the final defragmented skb.

[Note that it will only happen when the locally generated skb is looping
 from egress to ingress over a virtual interface (e.g. veth, loopback...),
 skb-&gt;tstamp may have the delivery time before it is known that it will
 be delivered locally and received by another sk.]
