tcp: Save unnecessary inet_twsk_purge() calls.



While destroying netns, we call inet_twsk_purge() in tcp_sk_exit_batch()
and tcpv6_net_exit_batch() for AF_INET and AF_INET6.  These commands
trigger the kernel to walk through the potentially big ehash twice even
though the netns has no TIME_WAIT sockets.

  # ip netns add test
  # ip netns del test

  or

  # unshare -n /bin/true >/dev/null

When tw_refcount is 1, we need not call inet_twsk_purge() at least
for the net.  We can save such unneeded iterations if all netns in
net_exit_list have no TIME_WAIT sockets.  This change eliminates
the tax by the additional unshare() described in the next patch to
guarantee the per-netns ehash size.

Tested:

  # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/
  # echo cleanup_net > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
  # echo inet_twsk_purge >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
  # echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
  # cat ./add_del_unshare.sh
  for i in `seq 1 40`
  do
      (for j in `seq 1 100` ; do  unshare -n /bin/true >/dev/null ; done) &
  done
  wait;
  # ./add_del_unshare.sh

Before the patch:

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe
