    packets: Always register packet sk in the same order · 68979f5e

    When using fanouts with AF_PACKET, the demux functions such as
    fanout_demux_cpu will return an index in the fanout socket array, which
    corresponds to the selected socket.
    
    The ordering of this array depends on the order the sockets were added
    to a given fanout group, so for FANOUT_CPU this means sockets are bound
    to cpus in the order they are configured, which is OK.
    
    However, when stopping then restarting the interface these sockets are
    bound to, the sockets are reassigned to the fanout group in the reverse
    order, due to the fact that they were inserted at the head of the
    interface's AF_PACKET socket list.
    
    This means that traffic that was directed to the first socket in the
    fanout group is now directed to the last one after an interface restart.
    
    In the case of FANOUT_CPU, traffic from CPU0 will be directed to the
    socket that used to receive traffic from the last CPU after an interface
    restart.
    
    This commit introduces a helper to add a socket at the tail of a list,
    then uses it to register AF_PACKET sockets.
    
    Note that this changes the order in which sockets are listed in /proc and
    with sock_diag.
