    ipv6: udp: optimize unicast RX path · fddc17de

    We first locate the (local port) hash chain head
    If few sockets are in this chain, we proceed with previous lookup algo.
    
    If too many sockets are listed, we take a look at the secondary
    (port, address) hash chain.
    
    We choose the shortest chain and proceed with a RCU lookup on the elected chain.
    
    But, if we chose (port, address) chain, and fail to find a socket on given address,
     we must try another lookup on (port, in6addr_any) chain to find sockets not bound
    to a particular IP.
    
    -> No extra cost for typical setups, where the first lookup will probabbly
    be performed.
    
    RCU lookups everywhere, we dont acquire spinlock.
