Use of percpu_counter structure to track count of orphaned
sockets is causing problems on modern hosts with 256 cpus
or more.
Stefan Bach reported a serious spinlock contention in real workloads,
that I was able to reproduce with a netfilter rule dropping
incoming FIN packets.

As explained in commit cf86a086a1 ("net/dst: use a smaller percpu_counter
batch for dst entries accounting"), default batch size is too big
for the default value of tcp_max_orphans (262144).
But even if we reduce batch sizes, there would still be cases
where the estimated count of orphans is beyond the limit,
and where tcp_too_many_orphans() has to call the expensive
percpu_counter_sum_positive().
One solution is to use plain per-cpu counters, and have
a timer to periodically refresh this cache.
Updating this cache every 100ms seems about right, tcp pressure
state is not radically changing over shorter periods.
percpu_counter was nice 15 years ago while hosts had less
than 16 cpus, not anymore by current standards.
v2: Fix the build issue for CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_CHELSIO_TLS=m,

Remove unused socket argument from tcp_too_many_orphans()
