inetpeer: various changes

Try to reduce cache line contentions in peer management, to reduce IP
defragmentation overhead.

- peer_fake_node is marked 'const' to make sure its not modified.
  (tested with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y)

- Group variables in two structures to reduce number of dirtied cache
lines. One named "peers" for avl tree root, its number of entries, and
associated lock. (candidate for RCU conversion)

- A second one named "unused_peers" for unused list and its lock

- Add a !list_empty() test in unlink_from_unused() to avoid taking lock
when entry is not unused.

- Use atomic_dec_and_lock() in inet_putpeer() to avoid taking lock in
some cases.
