net: rfs: add hash collision detection

Receive Flow Steering is a nice solution but suffers from
hash collisions when a mix of connected and unconnected traffic
is received on the host, when flow hash table is populated.

Also, clearing flow in inet_release() makes RFS not very good
for short lived flows, as many packets can follow close().
(FIN , ACK packets, ...)

This patch extends the information stored into global hash table
to not only include cpu number, but upper part of the hash value.

I use a 32bit value, and dynamically split it in two parts.

For host with less than 64 possible cpus, this gives 6 bits for the
cpu number, and 26 (32-6) bits for the upper part of the hash.

Since hash bucket selection use low order bits of the hash, we have
a full hash match, if /proc/sys/net/core/rps_sock_flow_entries is big
enough.

If the hash found in flow table does not match, we fallback to RPS (if
it is enabled for the rxqueue).

This means that a packet for an non connected flow can avoid the
IPI through a unrelated/victim CPU.

This also means we no longer have to clear the table at socket
close time, and this helps short lived flows performance.
