wireguard: receive: use ring buffer for incoming handshakes
Apparently the spinlock on incoming_handshake's skb_queue is highly contended, and a torrent of handshake or cookie packets can bring the data plane to its knees, simply by virtue of enqueueing the handshake packets to be processed asynchronously. So, we try switching this to a ring buffer to hopefully have less lock contention. This alleviates the problem somewhat, though it still isn't perfect, so future patches will have to improve this further. However, it at least doesn't completely diminish the data plane.
