Unconnected raw ICMP sockets receive every ICMP packet arriving at the
host, so any ICMP traffic refreshed the read deadline of every flow and
stale flows (with their raw sockets and goroutines) accumulated forever,
making per-ping cost grow linearly with uptime.
Expire flows based on their own activity only, and on Linux attach a
classic BPF ident filter to each raw socket so other flows' packets are
dropped in the kernel instead of waking every flow.
Unconnected raw ICMP sockets receive every ICMP packet arriving at the

stale flows (with their raw sockets and goroutines) were only reclaimed
by LRU eviction while processing all host ICMP traffic in the meantime.
