Eric Dumazet 46173144e0 net: mark deliver_skb() as unlikely and not inlined
deliver_skb() should not be inlined as is it not called
in the fast path.

Add unlikely() clauses giving hints to the compiler about this fact.

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 121794	  13330	    176	 135300	  21084	net/core/dev.o

__netif_receive_skb_core() size on x86_64 : 4080 bytes.

After:

size net/core/dev.o
  text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filenamee
