Hi,

This is v5 of the series where the tw_timer is un-pinned to get rid of
interferences in isolated CPUs setups.

The first patch is a new one stemming from Jakub's bug reported. It's there
mainly to make the reviewing a bit easier, but as it changes behaviour it should
be squashed with the second one.

Revisions
=========

v4 -> v5
++++++++

o Rebased against latest Linus' tree
o Converted tw_timer into a delayed work following Jakub's bug report on v4

What was the issue again ?

Please explain precisely why it was fundamentally tied to the use of
timers (and this was not possible to fix the issue without
adding work queues and more dependencies to TCP stack)
