I tried, it did not work.

We are doing performance test. The sender send 256KB per-block with 128
threads to one socket. And the receiver uses 10Gb NIC to handle the
data on ARM64. The data flow is driver->ip layer->tcp layer->iscsi.

I added some debug messages and found handling backlog packets in 
__release_sock() cost about 11ms at most. This can cause backlog queue
overflow. The sk_data_ready is re-assigned, it may cost time in our
program. I will check it out.
