net: dst: Switch to rcuref_t reference counting
Under high contention dst_entry::__refcnt becomes a significant bottleneck. atomic_inc_not_zero() is implemented with a cmpxchg() loop, which goes into high retry rates on contention. Switch the reference count to rcuref_t which results in a significant performance gain. Rename the reference count member to __rcuref to reflect the change. The gain depends on the micro-architecture and the number of concurrent operations and has been measured in the range of +25% to +130% with a localhost memtier/memcached benchmark which amplifies the problem massively. Running the memtier/memcached benchmark over a real (1Gb) network connection the conversion on top of the false sharing fix for struct dst_entry::__refcnt results in a total gain in the 2%-5% range over the upstream baseline.
