Eric Dumazet 51132b99f0 udp: add drop_counters to udp socket
When a packet flood hits one or more UDP sockets, many cpus
have to update sk->sk_drops.

This slows down other cpus, because currently
sk_drops is in sock_write_rx group.

Add a socket_drop_counters structure to udp sockets.

Using dedicated cache lines to hold drop counters
makes sure that consumers no longer suffer from
false sharing if/when producers only change sk->sk_drops.

This adds 128 bytes per UDP socket.

Tested with the following stress test, sending about 11 Mpps
to a dual socket AMD EPYC 7B13 64-Core.

super_netperf 20 -t UDP_STREAM -H DUT -l10 -- -n -P,1000 -m 120
Note: due to socket lookup, only one UDP socket is receiving
packets on DUT.

Then measure receiver (DUT) behavior. We can see both
consumer and BH handlers can process more packets per second.

Before:

nstat -n ; sleep 1 ; nstat | grep Udp
Udp6InDatagrams                 615091             0.0
Udp6InErrors                    3904277            0.0
Udp6RcvbufErrors                3904277            0.0

After:

nstat -n ; sleep 1 ; nstat | grep Udp
Udp6InDatagrams                 816281             0.0
Udp6InErrors                    7497093            0.0
Udp6RcvbufErrors                7497093            0.0
