[PATCH net-next] tcp/dccp: avoid one atomic operation for timewait hashdance

[PATCH net-next] tcp/dccp: avoid one atomic operation for timewait hashdance

[Eric Dumazet]

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

First, rename __inet_twsk_hashdance() to inet_twsk_hashdance()

Then, remove one inet_twsk_put() by setting tw_refcnt to 3 instead
of 4, but adding a fat warning that we do not have the right to access
tw anymore after inet_twsk_hashdance()
