3708983452 sched, net: Fixup busy_loop_us_clock()
The only valid use of preempt_enable_no_resched() is if the very next
line is schedule() or if we know preemption cannot actually be enabled
by that statement due to known more preempt_count 'refs'.

This busy_poll stuff looks to be completely and utterly broken,
sched_clock() can return utter garbage with interrupts enabled (rare
but still) and it can drift unbounded between CPUs.

This means that if you get preempted/migrated and your new CPU is
years behind on the previous CPU we get to busy spin for a _very_ long
time.

There is a _REASON_ sched_clock() warns about preemptability -
papering over it with a preempt_disable()/preempt_enable_no_resched()
is just terminal brain damage on so many levels.

Replace sched_clock() usage with local_clock() which has a bounded
drift between CPUs (<2 jiffies).

There is a further problem with the entire busy wait poll thing in
that the spin time is additive to the syscall timeout, not inclusive.

3046e2f5b7 net: add cpu_relax to busy poll loop
Add a cpu_relaxt to sk_busy_loop.

Julie Cummings reported performance issues when hyperthreading is on.
Arjan van de Ven observed that we should have a cpu_relax() in the
busy poll loop.

288a937637 net: rename busy poll MIB counter
Rename mib counter from "low latency" to "busy poll"

v1 also moved the counter to the ip MIB (suggested by Shawn Bohrer)
Eric Dumazet suggested that the current location is better.

So v2 just renames the counter to fit the new naming convention.

bf37d2b3fd busy_poll: cleanup do-nothing placeholders
When renaming ll_poll to busy poll, I introduced a typo
in the name of the do-nothing placeholder for sk_busy_loop
and called it sk_busy_poll.
This broke compile when busy poll was not configured.
Cong Wang submitted a patch to fixed that.
This patch removes the now redundant, misspelled placeholder.

e0d1095ae3 net: rename CONFIG_NET_LL_RX_POLL to CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL
Eliezer renames several *ll_poll to *busy_poll, but forgets
CONFIG_NET_LL_RX_POLL, so in case of confusion, rename it too.

dfcefb0be1 net: fix a compile error when CONFIG_NET_LL_RX_POLL is not set
When CONFIG_NET_LL_RX_POLL is not set, I got:

net/socket.c: In function ‘sock_poll’:
net/socket.c:1165:4: error: implicit declaration of function ‘sk_busy_loop’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

Fix this by adding a nop when !CONFIG_NET_LL_RX_POLL.
