Subject: [PATCH net-next 5/5] tcp: convert elligible sysctls to u8

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

Many tcp sysctls are either bools or small ints that can fit into u8.

Reducing space taken by sysctls can save few cache line misses
when sending/receiving data while cpu caches are empty,
for example after cpu idle period.

This is hard to measure with typical network performance tests,
but after this patch, struct netns_ipv4 has shrunk
by three cache lines.
