If this patch really helps, this means cond_resched_softirq()
doesnt work at all and should be fixed, or just zapped as it
is seldom used.

cond_resched_softirq lets other threads run if they want to.
It doesn't run pending softirq's at all.  In fact, it doesn't
even wake up ksoftirqd.

I am very glad you fixed /proc/net/tcp, but I would like to
understand why this cond_resched_softirq() even exist.

Its name and behavior dont match at all.

The only remaining use is in __release_sock().

Should we schedule threads, or ksoftirqd as well in this function ?
