Eric Dumazet a15c89c703 ipv4: do not use per netns icmp sockets 
Back in linux-2.6.25 (commit 4a6ad7a141 "[NETNS]: Make icmp_sk per namespace."),
we added private per-cpu/per-netns ipv4 icmp sockets.

This adds memory and cpu costs, which do not seem needed.
Now typical servers have 256 or more cores, this adds considerable
tax to netns users.

icmp sockets are used from BH context, are not receiving packets,
and do not store any persistent state but the 'struct net' pointer.

icmp_xmit_lock() already makes sure to lock the chosen per-cpu
socket.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
