    net: slightly optimize eth_type_trans · 45cf7959
    Li RongQing authored
    netperf udp stream shows that eth_type_trans takes certain cpu,
    so adjust the mac address check order, and firstly check if it
    is device address, and only check if it is multicast address
    only if not the device address.
    
    After this change:
    To unicast, and skb dst mac is device mac, this is most of time
    reduce a comparision
    To unicast, and skb dst mac is not device mac, nothing change
    To multicast, increase a comparision
    
    Before:
    1.03%  [kernel]          [k] eth_type_trans
    
    After:
    0.78%  [kernel]          [k] eth_type_trans
