    ipv6: make lookups simpler and faster · efe4208f

    TCP listener refactoring, part 4 :
    
    To speed up inet lookups, we moved IPv4 addresses from inet to struct
    sock_common
    
    Now is time to do the same for IPv6, because it permits us to have fast
    lookups for all kind of sockets, including upcoming SYN_RECV.
    
    Getting IPv6 addresses in TCP lookups currently requires two extra cache
    lines, plus a dereference (and memory stall).
    
    inet6_sk(sk) does the dereference of inet_sk(__sk)->pinet6
    
    This patch is way bigger than its IPv4 counter part, because for IPv4,
    we could add aliases (inet_daddr, inet_rcv_saddr), while on IPv6,
    it's not doable easily.
    
    inet6_sk(sk)->daddr becomes sk->sk_v6_daddr
    inet6_sk(sk)->rcv_saddr becomes sk->sk_v6_rcv_saddr
    
    And timewait socket also have tw->tw_v6_daddr & tw->tw_v6_rcv_saddr
    at the same offset.
    
    We get rid of INET6_TW_MATCH() as INET6_MATCH() is now the generic
    macro.
