Like ppp_generic.c, convert the PPPoE socket hash table to use RCU for lookups and a spinlock for updates. This removes rwlock usage and allows lockless readers on the fast path. - Mark hash table and list pointers as __rcu. - Use spin_lock() to protect writers. - Readers use rcu_dereference() under rcu_read_lock(). All known callers of get_item() already hold the RCU read lock, so no additional locking is needed. - get_item() now uses refcount_inc_not_zero() instead of sock_hold() to safely take a reference. This prevents crashes if a socket is already in the process of being freed (sk_refcnt == 0). - Set SOCK_RCU_FREE to defer socket freeing until after an RCU grace period. - Move skb_queue_purge() into sk_destruct callback to ensure purge happens after an RCU grace period.
