[RFC 1/4] net/ipv4/fib: Remove run-time check in tnode_alloc()

[Dmitry Safonov <dima@arista.com>]

TNODE_KMALLOC_MAX is not used anywhere, while TNODE_VMALLOC_MAX check in
tnode_alloc() only adds additional cmp/jmp instructions to tnode
allocation. During rebalancing of the trie the function can be called
thousands of times. Runtime check takes cache line and predictor entry.
Futhermore, this check is always false on 64-bit platfroms and ipv4 has
only 4 byte address range and bits are limited by KEYLENGTH (32).

Move the check under unlikely() and change comparison to BITS_PER_LONG,
optimizing allocation of tnode during rebalancing (and removing it
complitely for platforms with BITS_PER_LONG > KEYLENGTH).
