An RX lock batch still looks up the socket for every packet and takes a
temporary lookup reference, even though the batch already holds a
reference to the locked socket.
Record the network namespace and packet address tuple when a batch
starts. Reuse the batch socket for later STREAM/RW packets with the same
tuple, and release the batch before looking up a different flow.
The cached path still traces every packet, takes an skb owner reference,
validates socket state, source and transport, updates credit, and runs
the receive state machine. Only the socket table lookup and its temporary
reference are skipped.
