Subject: [PATCH net-next v6 0/3] net: tcp: un-pin tw timer

This is v6 of the series where the tw_timer is un-pinned to get rid of
interferences in isolated CPUs setups.

First patch makes necessary preparations, existing code relies on
TIMER_PINNED to avoid races.

Second patch un-pins the TW timer. Could be folded into the first one,
but it might help wrt. bisection.

Third patch is a minor cleanup to move a helper from .h to the only
remaining compilation unit.

Tested with iperf3 and stress-ng socket mode.

Changes since previous iteration:
 - do not use work queues, keep timers as-is
 - use timer_shutdown (can't wait for timer with spinlock held)
 - keep existing tw sk refcount (3)

Florian Westphal (2):
  net: tcp: un-pin the tw_timer
  tcp: move inet_twsk_schedule helper out of header
