net: convert TCP/DCCP ehash rwlocks to spinlocks

Now TCP & DCCP use RCU lookups, we can convert ehash rwlocks to spinlocks.

/proc/net/tcp and other seq_file 'readers' can safely be converted to 'writers'.

This should speedup writers, since spin_lock()/spin_unlock()
only use one atomic operation instead of two for write_lock()/write_unlock()
