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.
