Subject: [PATCH][net-next] vxlan: reduce dirty cache line in vxlan_find_mac

vxlan_find_mac() unconditionally set f->used for every packet,
this cause a cache miss for every packet, since remote, hlist
and used of vxlan_fdb share the same cacheline.

With this change f->used is set only if not equal to jiffies
This gives up to 5% speed-up with small packets.
