Subject: [PATCH 5.4 015/104] Revert "udp: do rmem bulk free even if the rx sk queue is empty"

From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit d39ca2590d10712f412add7a88e1dd467a7246f4 ]

This reverts commit 0d4a6608f68c7532dcbfec2ea1150c9761767d03.

Willem reported that after commit 0d4a6608f68c ("udp: do rmem bulk
free even if the rx sk queue is empty") the memory allocated by
an almost idle system with many UDP sockets can grow a lot.

For stable kernel keep the solution as simple as possible and revert
the offending commit.
