SubjectRe: [PATCH 3/3] Convert the UDP hash lock to RCU

Just to be clear, that was 10x with preempt RT, which converts rwlocks
into PI mutexes. So 16 processors going for the same lock is pretty ugly.

Under heavy loads there is also a writer starvation problem, I believe
in non-RT. You can't actually create or destroy a UDP socket when the
load is high because there's always a reader holding the lock. RCU also
solves that problem.
