mptcp: refactor token container



Replace the radix tree with a hash table allocated
at boot time. The radix tree has some shortcoming:
a single lock is contented by all the mptcp operation,
the lookup currently use such lock, and traversing
all the items would require a lock, too.

With hash table instead we trade a little memory to
address all the above - a per bucket lock is used.

To hash the MPTCP sockets, we re-use the msk' sk_node
entry: the MPTCP sockets are never hashed by the stack.
Replace the existing hash proto callbacks with a dummy
implementation, annotating the above constraint.

Additionally refactor the token creation to code to:

- limit the number of consecutive attempts to a fixed
maximum. Hitting a hash bucket with a long chain is
considered a failed attempt

- accept() no longer can fail to token management.

- if token creation fails at connect() time, we do
fallback to TCP (before the connection was closed)

v1 -> v2:
 - fix "no newline at end of file" - Jakub
