ipv4: udp: Optimise multicast reception
UDP multicast rx path is a bit complex and can hold a spinlock
for a long time.
Using a small (32 or 64 entries) stack of socket pointers can help
to perform expensive operations (skb_clone(), udp_queue_rcv_skb())
outside of the lock, in most cases.
It's also a base for a future RCU conversion of multicast recption.
