Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/3] tcp: bind(addr, 0) remove the SO_REUSEADDR restriction when ephemeral ports are exhausted.

Commit aacd9289af8b82f5fb01bcdd53d0e3406d1333c7 ("tcp: bind() use stronger
condition for bind_conflict") introduced a restriction to forbid to bind
SO_REUSEADDR enabled sockets to the same (addr, port) tuple in order to
assign ports dispersedly so that we can connect to the same remote host.

The change results in accelerating port depletion so that we fail to bind
sockets to the same local port even if we want to connect to the different
remote hosts.

You can reproduce this issue by following instructions below.
  1. # sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range="32768 32768"
  2. set SO_REUSEADDR to two sockets.
  3. bind two sockets to (localhost, 0) and the latter fails.

Therefore, when ephemeral ports are exhausted, bind(addr, 0) should
fallback to the legacy behaviour to enable the SO_REUSEADDR option and make
it possible to connect to different remote (addr, port) tuples.

This patch allows us to bind SO_REUSEADDR enabled sockets to the same
(addr, port) only when all ephemeral ports are exhausted.

The only notable thing is that if all sockets bound to the same port have
both SO_REUSEADDR and SO_REUSEPORT enabled, we can bind sockets to an
ephemeral port and also do listen().

Fixes: aacd9289af8b ("tcp: bind() use stronger condition for bind_conflict")
