Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/3] net: sched: make skip_sw actually skip software

TC filters come in 3 variants:
- no flag (no opinion, process wherever possible)
- skip_hw (do not process filter by hardware)
- skip_sw (do not process filter by software)

However skip_sw is implemented so that the skip_sw
flag can first be checked, after it has been matched.

IMHO it's common when using skip_sw, to use it on all rules.

So if all filters in a block is skip_sw filters, then
we can bail early, we can thus avoid having to match
the filters, just to check for the skip_sw flag.

Test setup:
 DUT: Intel Xeon D-1518 (2.20GHz) w/ Nvidia/Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx 2x100G
 Data rate measured on switch (Extreme X690), and DUT connected as
 a router on a stick, with pktgen and pktsink as VLANs.
 Pktgen was in range 12.79 - 12.95 Mpps across all tests.
