Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] net: SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE optimizations

SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE is tested in sock_wake_async()
so that a SIGIO signal is sent when needed.

tcp_sendmsg() clears the bit.
tcp_poll() sets the bit when stream is not writeable.

We can avoid two atomic operations by first checking if socket
is actually interested in the FASYNC business (most sockets in
real applications do not use AIO, but select()/poll()/epoll())

This also removes one cache line miss to access sk->sk_wq->flags
in tcp_sendmsg()
