inet: frags: remove INET_FRAG_EVICTED and use list_evictor for the test
We can simply remove the INET_FRAG_EVICTED flag to avoid all the flags race conditions with the evictor and use a participation test for the evictor list, when we're at that point (after inet_frag_kill) in the timer there're 2 possible cases: 1. The evictor added the entry to its evictor list while the timer was waiting for the chainlock or 2. The timer unchained the entry and the evictor won't see it In both cases we should be able to see list_evictor correctly due to the sync on the chainlock. Joint work with Florian Westphal.
