[ Upstream commit 15492700ac41459b54a6683490adcee350ab11e3 ]
tcp_in_quickack_mode() is called from input path for small packets.
It calls __sk_dst_get() which reads sk->sk_dst_cache which has been put in sock_read_tx group (for good reasons).
Then dst_metric(dst, RTAX_QUICKACK) also needs extra cache line misses.
Cache RTAX_QUICKACK in icsk->icsk_ack.dst_quick_ack to no longer pull these cache lines for the cases a delayed ACK is scheduled.
After this patch TCP receive path does not longer access sock_read_tx group.
