net: output path optimizations
1) Avoid dirtying neighbour's confirmed field.
TCP workloads hits this cache line for each incoming ACK.
Lets write n->confirmed only if there is a jiffie change.
2) Optimize neigh_hh_output() for the common Ethernet case, were
hh_len is less than 16 bytes. Replace the memcpy() call
by two inlined 64bit load/stores on x86_64.
Bench results using udpflood test, with -C option (MSG_CONFIRM flag
added to sendto(), to reproduce the n->confirmed dirtying on UDP)
24 threads doing 1.000.000 UDP sendto() on dummy device, 4 runs.
before : 2.247s, 2.235s, 2.247s, 2.318s
after : 1.884s, 1.905s, 1.891s, 1.895s
