Subject: [PATCH] net: Use a percpu_counter for orphan_count

Hi David

Here is the second patch, after one for sockets_allocated

Thank you

[PATCH] net: Use a percpu_counter for orphan_count

Instead of using one atomic_t per protocol, use a percpu_counter
for "orphan_count", to reduce cache line contention on
heavy duty network servers.
