A UDP pseudo-connection between port A in the init namespace and port B in
the pasta guest namespace involves two sockets: udp_splice_init[v6][B]
and udp_splice_ns[v6][A]. The socket which originated this "connection"
will be permanent but the other one will be closed on a timeout.
When we get a packet from the originating socket, we update the timeout on
the other socket, but we don't do the same when we get a reply packet from
the other socket. However any activity on the "connection" probably
indicates that it's still in use. Without this we could incorrectly time
out a "connection" if it's using a protocol which involves a single
initiating packet, but which then gets continuing replies from the target.
Correct this by updating the timeout on both sockets for a packet in either
direction. This also updates the timestamps for the permanent originating
sockets which is unnecessary, but harmless.

When we look up udp_splice_to_ns[][].orig_sock in udp_sock_handler_splice()
we're finding the socket on which the originating packet for the
"connection" was received on. However, we don't specifically need this
socket to be the originating one - we just need one that's bound to the
the source port of this reply packet in the init namespace. We can look
this up in udp_splice_to_init[v6][src].target_sock, whose defining
characteristic is exactly that. The same applies with init and ns swapped.
In practice, of course, the port we locate this way will always be the
originating port, since we couldn't have started this "connection" if it
wasn't.
Change this, and we no longer need the @orig_sock field at all. That
leaves just @target_sock which we rename to simply @sock. The whole
udp_splice_flow structure now more represents a single bound port than
a "flow" per se, so rename and recomment it accordingly. Likewise the
udp_splice_to_{ns,init} names are now misleading, since the ports in
those maps are used in both directions. Rename them to
udp_splice_{ns,init} indicating the location where the described
socket is bound.

When we look up udp_splice_to_ns[v6][src].target_sock in
udp_sock_handler_splice, all we really require of the socket is that it
be bound to port src in the pasta guest namespace. Similarly for
udp_splice_to_init but bound in the init namespace.
Usually these sockets are created temporarily by udp_splice_connect() and
cleaned up by udp_timer(). However, depending on the -u and -U options its
possible we have a permanent socket bound to the relevant port created by
udp_sock_init(). If such a socket exists, we could use it instead of
creating a temporary one. In fact we *must* use it, because we'll fail
trying to bind() a temporary one to the same port.
So allow this, store permanently bound sockets into udp_splice_to_{ns,init}
in udp_sock_init(). These won't get incorrectly removed by the timer
because we don't put a corresponding entry in the udp_act[] structure
which directs the timer what to clean up.

pasta handles "spliced" port forwarding by resending datagrams received on
a bound socket in the init namespace to a connected socket in the guest
namespace. This means there are actually three ports associated with each
"connection". First there's the source and destination ports of the
originating datagram. That's also the destination port of the forwarded
datagram, but the source port of the forwarded datagram is the kernel
allocated bound address of the connected socket.
However, by bind()ing as well as connect()ing the forwarding socket we can
choose the source port of the forwarded datagrams. By choosing it to match
the original source port we remove that surprising third port number and
no longer need to store port numbers in struct udp_splice_port.
As a bonus this means that the recipient of the packets will see the
original source port if they call getpeername(). This rarely matters, but

listening sockets we need for TCP (assuming passt/pasta is listening on the
same ports for IPv4 and IPv6). When forwarding many ports (e.g. -t all)
this can significantly reduce the amount of kernel memory that passt
consumes.

-u all), this reduces kernel memory usage from ~677MiB to ~487MiB

This bit in the TCP specific epoll reference indicates whether the

remote end of the connection. We can use the sa_family field in that
address to determine the connection type independent of the epoll
reference.
This does have a cost: for the spliced case, it means we now need to get
that address from accept() which introduces an extran copy_to_user().
However, in future we want to allow handling IPv4 connectons through IPv6
