inet: frag: don't wait for timer deletion when evicting Frank reports 'NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup' errors when load is high. Instead of (potentially) unbounded restarts of the eviction process, just skip to the next entry. One caveat is that, when a netns is exiting, a timer may still be running by the time inet_evict_bucket returns. We use the frag memory accounting to wait for outstanding timers, so that when we free the percpu counter we can be sure no running timer will trip over it.
