Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] udp: Reset flow table for flows over unconnected sockets

When receiving a packet on an unconnected UDP socket clear the
flow table for the corresponding hash. This is needed so flows over
unconnected UDP sockets will use RPS instead of using what is
present in the flow table. In particular, this avoids having flows
over unconnected sockets be perpetually steered by unrelated
entries in the flow table (idle TCP connections for instance).

Tested:

First filled up the RPS flow tables by creating a bunch of TCP
connections and letting them turn idle. Next, run netperf UDP_RR
with 200 flows.

Before fix:
  Client (connected UDP)
    81.15% CPU uilization
  Server (unneconnedted UDP)
    83.63% CPU uilization
  118/167/249 90/95/99% latencies
  1.59215e+06 tps

After fix:
  Client (connected UDP)
    81.13% CPU uilization
  Server (unneconnedted UDP)
    80.68% CPU uilization
  116/167/248 90/95/99% latencies
  1.61048e+06 tps
