Subject: [RFC net-next 0/2] udp: use standard RCU rules

Add a generic facility for sockets to be freed afer an RCU grace period.

Then UDP is changed to no longer use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
in order to speedup rx processing for traffic encapsulated in UDP.

I prepared a patch to convert TCP listeners to this infrastructure,
but will post it later, since Tom was mostly interested in UDP.

  net: add SOCK_RCU_FREE socket flag
  udp: No longer use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU
