> The number of allocated sockets is used for calculations in the soft
> limit phase, where packets are accepted but the socket is under memory
> pressure. Since there is no soft limit phase in tcp_memcontrol, and
> memory pressure is only entered when packets are already dropped, this
> is actually dead code. Remove it.

> As this is the last user of parent_cg_proto(), remove that too.
