Subject: [PATCH] net: Use __this_cpu_inc() in fast path

This patch saves 224 bytes of text on my machine.

__this_cpu_inc() generates a single instruction, using no scratch
registers :

  65 ff 04 25 a8 30 01 00      incl   %gs:0x130a8

instead of :

  48 c7 c2 80 30 01 00         mov    $0x13080,%rdx
  65 48 8b 04 25 88 ea 00 00   mov    %gs:0xea88,%rax
  83 44 10 28 01               addl   $0x1,0x28(%rax,%rdx,1)
