    llc: replace the socket list with a local address based hash · 52d58aef

    For the cases where a lot of interfaces are used in conjunction with a
    lot of LLC sockets bound to the same SAP, the iteration of the socket
    list becomes prohibitively expensive.
    
    Replacing the list with a a local address based hash significantly
    improves the bind and listener lookup operations as well as the
    datagram delivery.
    
    Connected sockets delivery is also improved, but this patch does not
    address the case where we have lots of sockets with the same local
    address connected to different remote addresses.
    
    In order to keep the socket sanity checks alive and fast a socket
    counter was added to the SAP structure.
