Now that obsolete RFC3517/RFC6675 TCP loss detection has been removed,
we can remove the somewhat complex and intrusive code to maintain its
hint state: lost_skb_hint and lost_cnt_hint.
This commit makes tcp_clear_retrans_hints_partial() empty. We will
remove tcp_clear_retrans_hints_partial() and its call sites in the
next commit.

As a followup of my presentation in Zagreb for netdev 0x19:
icsk_clean_acked is only used by TCP when/if CONFIG_TLS_DEVICE
is enabled from tcp_ack().
Rename it to tcp_clean_acked, move it to tcp_sock structure
in the tcp_sock_read_rx for better cache locality in TCP
fast path.
Define this field only when CONFIG_TLS_DEVICE is enabled
saving 8 bytes on configs not using it.

The doc pages under /networking/net_cachelines are unreadable because
they lack .rst formatting for the tabular text.
Add simple table markup and tidy up the table contents:
- remove dashes that represent empty cells because they render
as bullets and are not needed
- replace 'struct_*' with 'struct *' in the first column so that
sphinx can render links for any structs that appear in the docs

Analyzed a few structs in the networking stack by looking at variables
within them that are used in the TCP/IP fast path.
Fast path is defined as TCP path where data is transferred from sender to
receiver unidirectionally. It doesn't include phases other than
TCP_ESTABLISHED, nor does it look at error paths.
We hope to re-organizing variables that span many cachelines whose fast
path variables are also spread out, and this document can help future
developers keep networking fast path cachelines small.
Optimized_cacheline field is computed as
(Fastpath_Bytes/L3_cacheline_size_x86), and not the actual organized
results (see patches to come for these).
Investigation is done on 6.5
Name Struct_Cachelines Cur_fastpath_cache Fastpath_Bytes Optimized_cacheline
tcp_sock 42 (2664 Bytes) 12 396 8
net_device 39 (2240 bytes) 12 234 4
inet_sock 15 (960 bytes) 14 922 14
Inet_connection_sock 22 (1368 bytes) 18 1166 18
Netns_ipv4 (sysctls) 12 (768 bytes) 4 77 2
linux_mib 16 (1060) 6 104 2
Note how there isn't much improvement space for inet_sock and
Inet_connection_sock because sk and icsk_inet respectively takes up so
much of the struct that rest of the variables become a small portion of
the struct size.
So, we decided to reorganize tcp_sock, net_device, netns_ipv4
