Indeed if there is some impact it's way below the measurement uncertainty.
I've bonded two veth pairs and added a tc drop to the peers, then
started mausezahn to generate UDP traffic.
Traffic is measured on the veth peers:

Stock 5.4-rc5:

rx: 261.5 Mbps 605.4 Kpps
rx: 261.2 Mbps 604.6 Kpps
rx: 261.6 Mbps 605.5 Kpps

patched:

rx: 261.4 Mbps 605.1 Kpps
rx: 261.1 Mbps 604.4 Kpps
rx: 260.3 Mbps 602.5 Kpps

perf top shows no significatn change in bond* and skb_flow* functions
