net: avoid unconditionally touching sk_tsflags on RX

net: avoid unconditionally touching sk_tsflags on RX

After commit 5d4cc87414c5 ("net: reorganize "struct sock" fields"),
the sk_tsflags field shares the same cacheline with sk_forward_alloc.

The UDP protocol does not acquire the sock lock in the RX path;
forward allocations are protected via the receive queue spinlock;
additionally udp_recvmsg() calls sock_recv_cmsgs() unconditionally
touching sk_tsflags on each packet reception.

Due to the above, under high packet rate traffic, when the BH and the
user-space process run on different CPUs, UDP packet reception
experiences a cache miss while accessing sk_tsflags.

The receive path doesn't strictly need to access the problematic field;
change sock_set_timestamping() to maintain the relevant information
in a newly allocated sk_flags bit, so that sock_recv_cmsgs() can
take decisions accessing the latter field only.

With this patch applied, on an AMD epic server with i40e NICs, I
measured a 10% performance improvement for small packets UDP flood
performance tests - possibly a larger delta could be observed with more
recent H/W.
