RDS: make socket bind/release locking scheme simple and more efficient
RDS bind and release locking scheme is very inefficient. It uses RCU for maintaining the bind hash-table which is great but it also needs to hold spinlock for [add/remove]_bound(). So overall usecase, the hash-table concurrent speedup doesn't pay off. In fact blocking nature of synchronize_rcu() makes the RDS socket shutdown too slow which hurts RDS performance since connection shutdown and re-connect happens quite often to maintain the RC part of the protocol. So we make the locking scheme simpler and more efficient by replacing spin_locks with reader/writer locks and getting rid off rcu for bind hash-table. In subsequent patch, we also covert the global lock with per-bucket lock to reduce the global lock contention.
