This series adds rps_tag_ptr which encodes both a pointer
and a size of a power-of-two hash table in a single long word.

RFS hash tables (global and per rx-queue) are converted to rps_tag_ptr.

This removes a cache line miss, and allows high-order allocations.

The global hash table can benefit from huge pages.

Add a new rps_tag_ptr type to encode a pointer and a size
to a power-of-two table.

Three helpers are added converting an rps_tag_ptr to:

1) A log of the size.

2) A mask : (size - 1).

3) A pointer to the array.

Removing rcu_head (and @mask in a following patch)
will allow a power-of-two allocation and thus high-order
allocation for better performance.

In preparation of the following patch, abstract access
to the @mask field in 'struct rps_sock_flow_table'.

Also cleanup rps_sock_flow_sysctl() a bit :

- Rename orig_sock_table to o_sock_table.

Instead of storing the @mask at the beginning of rps_sock_flow_table,
use 5 low order bits of the rps_tag_ptr to store the log of the size.

This removes a potential cache line miss to fetch @mask.

More importantly, we can switch to vmalloc_huge() without wasting memory.

Tested with:

numactl --interleave=all bash -c "echo 4194304 >/proc/sys/net/core/rps_sock_flow_entries"

Use unrcu_pointer() and xchg() in store_rps_dev_flow_table_cnt()
instead of a dedicated spinlock.

Make a similar change in rx_queue_release(), so that both
functions use a similar construct and synchronization.

Remove rps_dev_flow_table_release() in favor of kvfree_rcu_mightsleep().

In the following pach, we will remove "u8 @log" field
and 'struct rps_dev_flow_table' size will be a power-of-two.

Instead of storing the @log at the beginning of rps_dev_flow_table
use 5 low order bits of the rps_tag_ptr to store the log of the size.

This removes a potential cache line miss (for light traffic).

This allows us to switch to one high-order allocation instead of vmalloc()
when CONFIG_RFS_ACCEL is not set.
