Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: flow_dissector: small optimizations in IPv4
 dissect

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

By moving code around, we avoid :

1) A reload of iph->ihl (bit field, so needs a mask)

2) A conditional test (replaced by a conditional mov on x86)
   Fast path loads iph->protocol anyway.
