Subject: [PATCH 2/3] udp: Use hlist_nulls in UDP RCU code

This is a straightforward patch, using hlist_nulls infrastructure.

RCUification already done on UDP two weeks ago.

Using hlist_nulls permits us to avoid some memory barriers, both
at lookup time and delete time.

Patch is large because it adds new macros to include/net/sock.h.
These macros will be used by TCP & DCCP in next patch.
