Eric Dumazet fdae0ab67d net: use NUMA drop counters for softnet_data.dropped ...

Hosts under DOS attack can suffer from false sharing
in enqueue_to_backlog() : atomic_inc(&sd->dropped).

This is because sd->dropped can be touched from many cpus,
possibly residing on different NUMA nodes.

Generalize the sk_drop_counters infrastucture
added in commit c51613fa27 ("net: add sk->sk_drop_counters")
and use it to replace softnet_data.dropped
with NUMA friendly softnet_data.drop_counters.

This adds 64 bytes per cpu, maybe more in the future
if we increase the number of counters (currently 2)
per 'struct numa_drop_counters'.
