Eric Dumazet 0daf07e527 raw: convert raw sockets to RCU
Using rwlock in networking code is extremely risky.
writers can starve if enough readers are constantly
grabing the rwlock.

I thought rwlock were at fault and sent this patch:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/6/17/272

But Peter and Linus essentially told me rwlock had to be unfair.

We need to get rid of rwlock in networking code.

Without this fix, following script triggers soft lockups:

for i in {1..48}
do
 ping -f -n -q 127.0.0.1 &
 sleep 0.1
done
