Most of the UDP tunnel devices call synchronize_rcu() twice
during destruction, for example, vxlan has

  1) synchronize_rcu() in udp_tunnel_sock_release()

  2) synchronize_net() in vxlan_sock_release()

The goal of this series is to remove the former, and another
followup series removes the latter.

synchronize_rcu() was added in udp_tunnel_sock_release() by
commit 3cf7203ca620 ("net/tunnel: wait until all sk_user_data
reader finish before releasing the sock").

This was intended to protect the fast path of a dying vxlan
from dereferencing vxlan_sock->sock->sk after sock_orphan()
has set sock->sk to NULL.

Most of the UDP tunnel devices store struct socket to its
private struct, but it is NOT needed in the fast paths;
struct sock is used there, but struct socket is only used
for tunnel setup / teardown.

This is probably because UDP tunnel functions accept struct
socket, but even such functions do not need it, except for
udp_tunnel_sock_release(), which can safely access sk->sk_socket.

The overview of the series:

  Patch 1 -  5 : Convert UDP tunnel helper to take struct sock
  Patch 6      : Small fix for 10-years-old bug
  Patch 7 - 14 : Store struct sock in tunnel devices
  Patch 15     : Remove synchronize_rcu() in udp_tunnel_sock_release()

  (I noted bugs of fou and amt, so Sashiko may point out
   such pre-existing issues in fou, amt, .. and pfcp and tipc,
   but they are orthogonal and I can follow up separately.)

With this change, a script creating/upping vxlan in 4000 netns
runs 10x faster.

  $ cat vxlan.sh
  for i in `seq 1 40`
  do
      (for j in `seq 1 100` ; do
            unshare -n bash -c "ip link add vxlan0 type vxlan id 100 local 127.0.0.1 dstport 4789 && ip link set vxlan0 up";
       done) &
  done
  wait

With bpftrace, we can see vxlan_stop() is significantly faster too.

  bpftrace -e '
  kprobe:vxlan_stop {
          @start[tid] = nsecs;
  }

  kretprobe:vxlan_stop /@start[tid]/ {
          @duration_us = hist((nsecs - @start[tid]) / 1000);
          delete(@start[tid]);
  }

  END {
          printf("\nExecution time of vxlan_stop (us):\n");
  }'

Before:

  # time ./vxlan.sh // without bpftrace
  real  0m50.615s
  user  0m8.171s
  sys   1m45.101s
