Eric Dumazet 4b0b72f7dd net: speedup udp receive path
Since commit 95766fff ([UDP]: Add memory accounting.), 
each received packet needs one extra sock_lock()/sock_release() pair.

This added latency because of possible backlog handling. Then later,
ticket spinlocks added yet another latency source in case of DDOS.

This patch introduces lock_sock_bh() and unlock_sock_bh()
synchronization primitives, avoiding one atomic operation and backlog
processing.

skb_free_datagram_locked() uses them instead of full blown
lock_sock()/release_sock(). skb is orphaned inside locked section for
proper socket memory reclaim, and finally freed outside of it.

UDP receive path now take the socket spinlock only once.
