Instead of sharing sd-&gt;defer_list &amp; sd-&gt;defer_count with
many cpus, add one pair for each NUMA node.

<title>net: introduce per netns packet chains</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently network taps unbound to any interface are linked in the
global ptype_all list, affecting the performance in all the network
namespaces.

Add per netns ptypes chains, so that in the mentioned case only
the netns owning the packet socket(s) is affected.

While at that drop the global ptype_all list: no in kernel user
registers a tap on "any" type without specifying either the target
device or the target namespace (and IMHO doing that would not make
any sense).

Note that this adds a conditional in the fast path (to check for
per netns ptype_specific list) and increases the dataset size by
a cacheline (owing the per netns lists).
