Subject: [PATCH net-next] udp: increment UDP_NO_PORTS when dropping unmatched multicasts


From: Rick Jones <rick.jones2@...com>

When there is absolutely no match for an incoming UDP multicast we
should increment a suitable UDP statistic in addition to the kfree_skb().
When there were some matches, we should not and simply call consume_skb().

Noticed __udp4_lib_mcast_deliver showing-up in a perf dropped packet
profile on a system sitting on a network with a bunch of Windows boxes
sending what they are fond of sending.

Verified that UDP_MIB_NOPORTS increments when it was not before and hit
the system with a bit of netperf multicast UDP_RR but that is the extent
of the testing performed.
