net: sock_rps_record_flow() is for connected sockets
Paolo noticed a cache line miss in UDP recvmsg() to access
sk_rxhash, sharing a cache line with sk_drops.
sk_drops might be heavily incremented by cpus handling a flood targeting
this socket.
We might place sk_drops on a separate cache line, but lets try
to avoid wasting 64 bytes per socket just for this, since we have
other bottlenecks to take care of.
sock_rps_record_flow() should only access sk_rxhash for connected
flows.
Testing sk_state for TCP_ESTABLISHED covers most of the cases for
connected sockets, for a zero cost, since system calls using
sock_rps_record_flow() also access sk->sk_prot which is on the
same cache line.
A follow up patch will provide a static_key (Jump Label) since most
hosts do not even use RFS.
