Paolo Abeni e94a62f507 net/reuseport: drop legacy code
Since commit e32ea7e747 ("soreuseport: fast reuseport UDP socket
selection") and commit c125e80b88 ("soreuseport: fast reuseport
TCP socket selection") the relevant reuseport socket matching the current
packet is selected by the reuseport_select_sock() call. The only
exceptions are invalid BPF filters/filters returning out-of-range
indices.
In the latter case the code implicitly falls back to using the hash
demultiplexing, but instead of selecting the socket inside the
reuseport_select_sock() function, it relies on the hash selection
logic introduced with the early soreuseport implementation.

With this patch, in case of a BPF filter returning a bad socket
index value, we fall back to hash-based selection inside the
reuseport_select_sock() body, so that we can drop some duplicate
code in the ipv4 and ipv6 stack.

This also allows faster lookup in the above scenario and will allow
us to avoid computing the hash value for successful, BPF based
demultiplexing - in a later patch.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
