[IPV4]: rt_cache_stat can be statically defined

Browse Source 
Using __get_cpu_var(obj) is slightly faster than per_cpu_ptr(obj, 
raw_smp_processor_id()).

1) Smaller code and memory use
For static and small objects, DEFINE_PER_CPU(type, object) is preferred over a 
alloc_percpu() : Better and smaller code to access them, and no extra memory 
(storing the pointer, and the percpu array of pointers)

x86_64 code before patch

mov    1237577(%rip),%rax        # ffffffff803e5990 <rt_cache_stat>
not    %rax  # part of per_cpu machinery
mov    %gs:0x3c,%edx # get cpu number
movslq %edx,%rdx # extend 32 bits cpu number to 64 bits
mov    (%rax,%rdx,8),%rax # get the pointer for this cpu
incl   0x38(%rax)

x86_64 code after patch

mov    $per_cpu__rt_cache_stat,%rdx
mov    %gs:0x48,%rax # get percpu data offset
incl   0x38(%rax,%rdx,1)

2) False sharing avoidance for SMP :
For a small NR_CPUS, the array of per cpu pointers allocated in alloc_percpu() 
can be <= 32 bytes. This let slab code gives a part of a cache line. If the 
other part of this 64 bytes (or 128 bytes) cache line is used by a mostly 
written object, we can have false sharing and expensive per_cpu_ptr() operations.

Size of rt_cache_stat is 64 bytes, so this patch is not a danger of a too big 
increase of bss (in UP mode) or static per_cpu data for SMP 
(PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM is currently 32768 bytes)
