Eric Dumazet 04c494e68a Revert "tcp/dccp: get rid of inet_twsk_purge()"
This reverts commits:

0dad4087a8 ("tcp/dccp: get rid of inet_twsk_purge()")
d507204d3c ("tcp/dccp: add tw->tw_bslot")

As Leonard pointed out, a newly allocated netns can happen
to reuse a freed 'struct net'.

While TCP TW timers were covered by my patches, other things were not:

1) Lookups in rx path (INET_MATCH() and INET6_MATCH()), as they look
  at 4-tuple plus the 'struct net' pointer.

2) /proc/net/tcp[6] and inet_diag, same reason.

3) hashinfo->bhash[], same reason.

Fixing all this seems risky, lets instead revert.

In the future, we might have a per netns tcp hash table, or
a per netns list of timewait sockets...
