udp: intoduce udp_encap_needed static_key
Most machines dont use UDP encapsulation (L2TP)
Adds a static_key so that udp_queue_rcv_skb() doesnt have to perform a
test if L2TP never setup the encap_rcv on a socket.
Idea of this patch came after Simon Horman proposal to add a hook on TCP
as well.
If static_key is not yet enabled, the fast path does a single JMP .
When static_key is enabled, JMP destination is patched to reach the real
encap_type/encap_rcv logic, possibly adding cache misses.
