Subject: [PATCH net-next] net:rfs: adjust table size checking

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

Make sure root user does not try something stupid.

Also make sure mask field in struct rps_sock_flow_table
does not share a cache line with the potentially often dirtied
flow table.

Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>
Fixes: 567e4b79731c ("net: rfs: add hash collision detection")
