Why u64 ?

This is not what the timer interface uses (look at mod_timer(), it
uses "unsigned long")

If/when under load, timeout is close to zero,
we would fire many timers (increased system load) and make impossible
for datagrams to complete.

In contrast, a reasonable timer and probabilistic drops of new datagrams
when the queue is full lets some datagrams to complete.

Make sure to test your change under a real DDOS, not only non malicious netperf
