Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 3/3] net: sched: make skip_sw actually skip software
TC filters come in 3 variants:
- no flag (try to process in hardware, but fallback to software))
- 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.
This patch adds a bypass, for when only TC skip_sw rules
are used. The bypass is guarded by a static key, to avoid
harming other workloads.
There are 3 ways that a packet from a skip_sw ruleset, can
end up in the kernel path. Although the send packets to a
non-existent chain way is only improved a few percents, then
I believe it's worth optimizing the trap and fall-though
use-cases.

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-dpdk was in range 36.6-37.7 Mpps across all tests.
