net: Use a percpu_counter for sockets_allocated

Instead of using one atomic_t per protocol, use a percpu_counter
for "sockets_allocated", to reduce cache line contention on
heavy duty network servers. 

Note : We revert commit (248969ae31e1b3276fc4399d67ce29a5d81e6fd9
net: af_unix can make unix_nr_socks visbile in /proc),
since it is not anymore used after sock_prot_inuse_add() addition
