Eric Dumazet a37e6e3449 net: force dst_default_metrics to const section
While investigating on network performance problems, I found this little
gem :

$ nm -v vmlinux | grep -1 dst_default_metrics
ffffffff82736540 b busy.46605
ffffffff82736560 B dst_default_metrics
ffffffff82736598 b dst_busy_list

Apparently, declaring a const array without initializer put it in
(writeable) bss section, in middle of possibly often dirtied cache
lines.

Since we really want dst_default_metrics be const to avoid any possible
false sharing and catch any buggy writes, I force a null initializer.

ffffffff818a4c20 R dst_default_metrics
