Coming back after looking for more hints in recorded perf.data.

`perf diff` between baseline and no-prog-attached shows:

# Event 'cycles'
#
# Baseline    Delta  Symbol
# ........  .......  ......................................
#
     4.63%   +0.07%  [k] udpv6_queue_rcv_one_skb
     3.88%   -0.38%  [k] __netif_receive_skb_core
     3.54%   +0.21%  [k] udp6_lib_lookup2
     3.01%   -0.42%  [k] 0xffffffffc04926cc
     2.69%   -0.10%  [k] mlx5e_skb_from_cqe_linear
     2.56%   -0.20%  [k] ipv6_gro_receive
     2.31%   -0.15%  [k] dev_gro_receive
     2.20%   -0.13%  [k] do_csum
     2.02%   -0.68%  [k] ip6_pol_route
     1.94%   +0.79%  [k] __udp6_lib_lookup

So __udp6_lib_lookup is where to look, as expected.

`perf annotate __udp6_lib_lookup` for no-prog-attached has a hot spot
right were we populate the context object:

         :                      })
         :
         :                      static __always_inline
         :                      void __read_once_size(const volatile void *p, void *res, int size)
         :                      {
         :                      __READ_ONCE_SIZE;
    0.05 :   ffffffff81853125:       mov    0xd28(%r13),%rdx

Note, struct bpf_inet_lookup has been renamed to bpf_sk_lookup since
then.

I'll switch to copying just the pointer to in6_addr{} and push the
context initialization after test for net->sk_lookup_prog, like you
suggested.

I can post full output from perf-diff/annotate to some pastebin if you
would like to take a deeper look.

Thanks,
Jakub
