net: avoid RCU for NOCACHE dst
There is no point using RCU for dst we allocate for a very short time (used once). Change dst_release() to take DST_NOCACHE into account, but also change skb_dst_set_noref() to force a refcount increment for such dst. This is a _huge_ gain, because we dont waste memory to store xx thousand of dsts. Instead of queueing them to RCU, we can free them instantly. CPU caches can stay hot, re-using same memory blocks to hold temporary dsts. Note : remove unneeded smp_mb__before_atomic_dec(); in dst_release(), since atomic_dec_return() implies a full memory barrier. Stress test, 160.000.000 udp frames sent, IP route cache disabled (DDOS).
