net: rename busy poll socket op and globals

Browse Source 
Rename LL_SO to BUSY_POLL_SO
Rename sysctl_net_ll_{read,poll} to sysctl_busy_{read,poll}
Fix up users of these variables.
Fix documentation for sysctl.

a patch for the socket.7  man page will follow separately,
because of limitations of my mail setup.

Low latency busy poll timeout for socket reads. (needs CONFIG_NET_LL_RX_POLL)
Approximate time in us to busy loop waiting for packets on the device queue.
This sets the default value of the SO_LL socket option.
Can be set or overridden per socket by setting socket option SO_LL, which is
the preferred method of enabling.
If you need to enable the feature globally via sysctl, a value of 50 is recommended.

busy_poll
----------------
Low latency busy poll timeout for poll and select. (needs CONFIG_NET_LL_RX_POLL)
Approximate time in us to busy loop waiting for events.
Recommended value depends on the number of sockets you poll on.
For several sockets 50, for several hundreds 100.
For more than that you probably want to use epoll.
Note that only sockets with SO_LL set will be busy polled, so you want to either
selectively set SO_LL on those sockets or set sysctl.net.low_latency_read globally.
