tcp: metrics: Fix rcu-race when deleting multiple entries
In bbf852b96ebdc6d1 I introduced the tmlist, which allows to delete multiple entries from the cache that match a specified destination if no source-IP is specified. However, as the cache is an RCU-list, we should not create this tmlist, as it will change the tcpm_next pointer of the element that will be deleted and so a thread iterating over the cache's entries while holding the RCU-lock might get "redirected" to this tmlist. This patch fixes this, by reverting back to the old behavior prior to bbf852b96ebdc6d1, which means that we simply change the tcpm_next pointer of the previous element (pp) to jump over the one we are deleting. The difference is that we call kfree_rcu() directly on the cache entry, which allows us to delete multiple entries from the list.
