ipmr: remove hard code cache_resolve_queue_len limit
This is a re-post of previous patch wrote by David Miller[1]. Phil Karn reported[2] that on busy networks with lots of unresolved multicast routing entries, the creation of new multicast group routes can be extremely slow and unreliable. The reason is we hard-coded multicast route entries with unresolved source addresses(cache_resolve_queue_len) to 10. If some multicast route never resolves and the unresolved source addresses increased, there will be no ability to create new multicast route cache. To resolve this issue, we need either add a sysctl entry to make the cache_resolve_queue_len configurable, or just remove cache_resolve_queue_len limit directly, as we already have the socket receive queue limits of mrouted socket, pointed by David. >From my side, I'd perfer to remove the cache_resolve_queue_len limit instead of creating two more(IPv4 and IPv6 version) sysctl entry. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/22/11 [2] https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/21/343 v3: instead of remove cache_resolve_queue_len totally, let's only remove the hard code limit when allocate the unresolved cache, as Eric Dumazet suggested, so we don't need to re-count it in other places. v2: hold the mfc_unres_lock while walking the unresolved list in queue_count(), as Nikolay Aleksandrov remind.
