Subject: [PATCH net-next 11/20] tcp: small optimization in tcp recvmsg()

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

When reading large chunks of data, incoming packets might
be added to the backlog from BH.

tcp recvmsg() detects the backlog queue is not empty, and uses
a release_sock()/lock_sock() pair to process this backlog.

We now have __sk_flush_backlog() to perform this
a bit faster.
