[PATCH net-next-2.6] ipv6: udp: Optimise multicast reception

IPV6 UDP multicast rx path is a bit complex and can hold a spinlock
for a long time.

Using a small (32 or 64 entries) stack of socket pointers can help
to perform expensive operations (skb_clone(), udp_queue_rcv_skb())
outside of the lock, in most cases.
