Subject: [PATCH v1 net-next] ipv6: Move ipv6_fl_list from ipv6_pinfo to inet_sock.

In {tcp6,udp6,raw6}_sock, struct ipv6_pinfo is always placed at
the beginning of a new cache line because

  1. __alignof__(struct tcp_sock) is 64 due to ____cacheline_aligned
     of __cacheline_group_begin(tcp_sock_write_tx)

  2. __alignof__(struct udp_sock) is 64 due to ____cacheline_aligned
     of struct numa_drop_counters

  3. in raw6_sock, struct numa_drop_counters is placed before
     struct ipv6_pinfo

.  struct ipv6_pinfo is 136 bytes, but the last cache line is
only used by ipv6_fl_list:

  $ pahole -C ipv6_pinfo vmlinux
  struct ipv6_pinfo {
  ...
  	/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
  	struct ipv6_fl_socklist *  ipv6_fl_list;         /*   128     8 */

  	/* size: 136, cachelines: 3, members: 23 */

Let's move ipv6_fl_list from struct ipv6_pinfo to struct inet_sock
to save a full cache line for {tcp6,udp6,raw6}_sock.

Now, struct ipv6_pinfo is 128 bytes, and {tcp6,udp6,raw6}_sock have
64 bytes less, while {tcp,udp,raw}_sock retain the same size.

Before:

  # grep -E "^(RAW|UDP[^L\-]|TCP)" /proc/slabinfo | awk '{print $1, "\t", $4}'
  RAWv6 	 1408
  UDPv6 	 1472
  TCPv6 	 2560
  RAW 		 1152
  UDP	 	 1280
  TCP 		 2368

After:

  # grep -E "^(RAW|UDP[^L\-]|TCP)" /proc/slabinfo | awk '{print $1, "\t", $4}'
  RAWv6 	 1344
  UDPv6 	 1408
  TCPv6 	 2496
  RAW 		 1152
  UDP	 	 1280
  TCP 		 2368

Also, ipv6_fl_list and inet_flags (SNDFLOW bit) are placed in the
same cache line.

  $ pahole -C inet_sock vmlinux
  ...
  	/* --- cacheline 11 boundary (704 bytes) was 56 bytes ago --- */
  	struct ipv6_pinfo *        pinet6;               /*   760     8 */
  	/* --- cacheline 12 boundary (768 bytes) --- */
  	struct ipv6_fl_socklist *  ipv6_fl_list;         /*   768     8 */
  	unsigned long              inet_flags;           /*   776     8 */

Doc churn is due to the insufficient Type column (only 1 space short).
