Alexander Lobakin d206121faf skbuff: micro-optimize {,__}skb_header_pointer()
{,__}skb_header_pointer() helpers exist mainly for preventing
accesses-beyond-end of the linear data.
In the vast majorify of cases, they bail out on the first condition.
All code going after is mostly a fallback.
Mark the most common branch as 'likely' one to move it in-line.
Also, skb_copy_bits() can return negative values only when the input
arguments are invalid, e.g. offset is greater than skb->len. It can
be safely marked as 'unlikely' branch, assuming that hotpath code
provides sane input to not fail here.

These two bump the throughput with a single Flow Dissector pass on
every packet (e.g. with RPS or driver that uses eth_get_headlen())
on 20 Mbps per flow/core.
