Speaking of static_key, it appears we now have GRO on UDP, and this
consumes a considerable amount of cpu cycles.

Turning off GRO allows me to get +20 % more packets on my single UDP
socket. (1.2 Mpps instead of 1.0 Mpps)

Surely udp_gro_receive() should be bypassed if no UDP socket has
registered a udp_sk(sk)->gro_receive handler 

And/or delay the inet_add_offload(&udpv{4|6}_offload, IPPROTO_UDP); to
the first UDP sockets setting udp_sk(sk)->gro_receive handler,
ie udp_encap_enable() and udpv6_encap_enable()
