dst_total is read only #if RT_CACHE_DEBUG >=2 , but is incremented and
decremented during dst_alloc and dst_destroy. Following patch conditions
the atomic_inc and atomic_decs to dst_total with RT_CACHE_DEBUG >= 2
dst_alloc routine (which incements dst_total) shows up with the tests
suggested by Dave Miller for measuring RCU route cache changes.
Profile ticks reduce by 15 % for dst_alloc on a 4 way with the foll
patch (with the default -- RT_CACHE_DEBUG = 0 ).
