tcp: convert elligible sysctls to u8
[ Upstream commit 4ecc1baf362c5df2dcabe242511e38ee28486545 ]
Many tcp sysctls are either bools or small ints that can fit into u8.
Reducing space taken by sysctls can save few cache line misses
when sending/receiving data while cpu caches are empty,
for example after cpu idle period.
This is hard to measure with typical network performance tests,
but after this patch, struct netns_ipv4 has shrunk
by three cache lines.
