====================
inet_diag: remove three mutexes in diag dumps
Surprisingly, inet_diag operations are serialized over a stack
of three mutexes, giving legacy /proc based files an unfair
advantage on modern hosts.
This series removes all of them, making inet_diag operations
(eg iproute2/ss) fully parallel.
1-2) Two first patches are adding data-race annotations
and can be backported to stable kernels.
3-4) inet_diag_table_mutex can be replaced with RCU protection,
if we add corresponding protection against module unload.
5-7) sock_diag_table_mutex can be replaced with RCU protection,
if we add corresponding protection against module unload.
8) sock_diag_mutex is removed, as the old bug it was
working around has been fixed more elegantly.
9) inet_diag_dump_icsk() can skip over empty buckets to reduce
spinlock contention.
