    inet: move ipv6only in sock_common · 9fe516ba

    When an UDP application switches from AF_INET to AF_INET6 sockets, we
    have a small performance degradation for IPv4 communications because of
    extra cache line misses to access ipv6only information.
    
    This can also be noticed for TCP listeners, as ipv6_only_sock() is also
    used from __inet_lookup_listener()->compute_score()
    
    This is magnified when SO_REUSEPORT is used.
    
    Move ipv6only into struct sock_common so that it is available at
    no extra cost in lookups.
