As discussed in Faro during Netfilter Workshop 2017, RB trees can be
used with RCU, using a seqlock.
Note that net/rxrpc/conn_service.c is already using this.
This patch converts inetpeer from AVL tree to RB tree, since it allows
to remove private AVL implementation in favor of shared RB code.
$ size net/ipv4/inetpeer.before net/ipv4/inetpeer.after
text data bss dec hex filename
3195 40 128 3363 d23 net/ipv4/inetpeer.before
1562 24 0 1586 632 net/ipv4/inetpeer.after
The same technique can be used to speed up
net/netfilter/nft_set_rbtree.c (removing rwlock contention in fast path)
