Rather than pass in flags, error pointer, and whether this is a kernel
invocation or not, add a struct proto_accept_arg struct as the argument.
This then holds all of these arguments, and prepares accept for being
able to pass back more information.

No functional changes in this patch.

<title>net: Remove ctl_table sentinel elements from several networking subsystems</title>

<content type='text'>
This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

To avoid lots of small commits, this commit brings together network
changes from (as they appear in MAINTAINERS) LLC, MPTCP, NETROM NETWORK
LAYER, PHONET PROTOCOL, ROSE NETWORK LAYER, RXRPC SOCKETS, SCTP
PROTOCOL, SHARED MEMORY COMMUNICATIONS (SMC), TIPC NETWORK LAYER and
NETWORKING [IPSEC]

* Remove sentinel element from ctl_table structs.
* Replace empty array registration with the register_net_sysctl_sz call
  in llc_sysctl_init
* Replace the for loop stop condition that tests for procname == NULL
  with one that depends on array size in sctp_sysctl_net_register
* Remove instances where an array element is zeroed out to make it look
  like a sentinel in xfrm_sysctl_init. This is not longer needed and is
  safe after commit c899710fe7f9 ("networking: Update to
  register_net_sysctl_sz") added the array size to the ctl_table
  registration
* Use a table_size variable to keep the value of ARRAY_SIZE

I added dst_rt6_info() in commit
e8dfd42c17fa ("ipv6: introduce dst_rt6_info() helper")

This patch does a similar change for IPv4.

Instead of (struct rtable *)dst casts, we can use :

 #define dst_rtable(_ptr) \
             container_of_const(_ptr, struct rtable, dst)

Patch is smaller than IPv6 one, because IPv4 has skb_rtable() helper.

<title>sctp: prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic</title>

This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1][2].

As the "ids" variable is a pointer to "struct sctp_assoc_ids" and this
structure ends in a flexible array:

struct sctp_assoc_ids {
	[...]
	sctp_assoc_t	gaids_assoc_id[];
};

the preferred way in the kernel is to use the struct_size() helper to
do the arithmetic instead of the calculation "size + size * count" in
the kmalloc() function.

Also, refactor the code adding the "ids_size" variable to avoid sizing
twice.

This way, the code is more readable and safer.

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle, and audited and
modified manually.

To be able to constify instances of struct ctl_tables it is necessary to
remove ways through which non-const versions are exposed from the
sysctl core.
One of these is the ctl_table_arg member of struct ctl_table_header.

Constify this reference as a prerequisite for the full constification of
struct ctl_table instances.
No functional change.

<title>net: add sk_wake_async_rcu() helper</title>

<content type='text'>
While looking at UDP receive performance, I saw sk_wake_async()
was no longer inlined.

This matters at least on AMD Zen1-4 platforms (see SRSO)

This might be because rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()
are no longer nops in recent kernels ?

Add sk_wake_async_rcu() variant, which must be called from
contexts already holding rcu lock.

As SOCK_FASYNC is deprecated in modern days, use unlikely()
to give a hint to the compiler.

sk_wake_async_rcu() is properly inlined from
__udp_enqueue_schedule_skb() and sock_def_readable().
