net: remove hlist_nulls_add_tail_rcu()
Alexander Potapenko reported use of uninitialized memory [1] This happens when inserting a request socket into TCP ehash, in __sk_nulls_add_node_rcu(), since sk_reuseport is not initialized. Bug was added by commit d894ba18 ("soreuseport: fix ordering for mixed v4/v6 sockets") Note that d296ba60 ("soreuseport: Resolve merge conflict for v4/v6 ordering fix") missed the opportunity to get rid of hlist_nulls_add_tail_rcu() : Both UDP sockets and TCP/DCCP listeners no longer use __sk_nulls_add_node_rcu() for their hash insertion. Since all other sockets have unique 4-tuple, the reuseport status has no special meaning, so we can always use hlist_nulls_add_head_rcu() for them and save few cycles/instructions.
