Subject: [PATCH v3 net-next 0/6] skbuff: micro-optimize flow dissection

This little number makes all of the flow dissection functions take
raw input data pointer as const (1-5) and shuffles the branches in
__skb_header_pointer() according to their hit probability.

The result is +20 Mbps per flow/core with one Flow Dissector pass
per packet. This affects RPS (with software hashing), drivers that
use eth_get_headlen() on their Rx path and so on.

>From v2 [1]:
 - reword some commit messages as a potential fix for NIPA;
 - no functional changes.

>From v1 [0]:
 - rebase on top of the latest net-next. This was super-weird, but
   I double-checked that the series applies with no conflicts, and
   then on Patchwork it didn't;
 - no other changes.
