[INET]: Remove per bucket rwlock in tcp/dccp ehash table.

As done two years ago on IP route cache table (commit
22c047ccbc68fa8f3fa57f0e8f906479a062c426) , we can avoid using one
lock per hash bucket for the huge TCP/DCCP hash tables.

On a typical x86_64 platform, this saves about 2MB or 4MB of ram, for
litle performance differences. (we hit a different cache line for the
rwlock, but then the bucket cache line have a better sharing factor
among cpus, since we dirty it less often). For netstat or ss commands
that want a full scan of hash table, we perform fewer memory accesses.

Using a 'small' table of hashed rwlocks should be more than enough to
provide correct SMP concurrency between different buckets, without
using too much memory. Sizing of this table depends on
num_possible_cpus() and various CONFIG settings.

This patch provides some locking abstraction that may ease a future
work using a different model for TCP/DCCP table.
