tcp: implement coalescing on backlog queue
In case GRO is not as efficient as it should be or disabled,
we might have a user thread trapped in __release_sock() while
softirq handler flood packets up to the point we have to drop.
This patch balances work done from user thread and softirq,
to give more chances to __release_sock() to complete its work
before new packets are added the the backlog.
This also helps if we receive many ACK packets, since GRO
does not aggregate them.
This patch brings ~60% throughput increase on a receiver
without GRO, but the spectacular gain is really on
1000x release_sock() latency reduction I have measured.
