Subject: [PATCH net-next] net-timestamp: optimize sock_tx_timestamp default path

Few packets have timestamping enabled. Exit sock_tx_timestamp quickly
in this common case.

Packets are only possibly timestamped if one of
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_(SOFTWARE|RAW_HARDWARE) is enabled.

Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@...gle.com>

----

I have one more short timestamping patch after this, to remove
SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE and simplify the receive timestamp
path a bit. I have not forgotten about the timestamp cookies: once
these smaller changes are in, I'll take another look at that. It
is a more complex change, and I didn't want to block these in the
meantime.
