To be clear, I meant to do migration in inet_csk_listen_stop() instead
of doing it in the new inet_csk_reqsk_queue_migrate() which reqires a
double lock and then need to re-bring in the whole spin_lock_bh_nested
patch in the patch 3 of v2.

e.g. in the first while loop in inet_csk_listen_stop(),
if there is a target to migrate to,  it can do
something similar to inet_csk_reqsk_queue_add(target_sk, ...)
instead of doing the current inet_child_forget().
It probably needs something different from
inet_csk_reqsk_queue_add(), e.g. also update rsk_listener,
but the idea should be similar.

Since the rsk_listener has to be updated one by one, there is
really no point to do the list splicing which requires
the double lock.
