fasync: RCU and fine grained locking
kill_fasync() uses a central rwlock, candidate for RCU conversion, to
avoid cache line ping pongs on SMP.
fasync_remove_entry() and fasync_add_entry() can disable IRQS on a short
section instead during whole list scan.
Use a spinlock per fasync_struct to synchronize kill_fasync_rcu() and
fasync_{remove|add}_entry(). This spinlock is IRQ safe, so sock_fasync()
doesnt need its own implementation and can use fasync_helper(), to
reduce code size and complexity.
We can remove __kill_fasync() direct use in net/socket.c, and rename it
to kill_fasync_rcu().
