For some reason the numbers are slightly better with this series.

Could be caused by the __always_inline in patch 4, I'd have to compare
the disassembly to confirm this hunch.

Tested on a bare-metal Core i7-3615QM, each measurement was performed
twice to verify that the numbers are stable.

Commands to perform a measurement:
modprobe pktgen
echo "add_device lo@3" > /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_3
samples/pktgen/pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_queue_xmit.sh -i 'lo@3' -n 100000000

Commands for testing tc egress:
tc qdisc add dev lo clsact
tc filter add dev lo egress protocol ip prio 1 u32 match ip dst 4.3.2.1/32

Commands for testing nft egress:
nft add table netdev t
nft add chain netdev t co \{ type filter hook egress device lo priority 0 \; \}
nft add rule netdev t co ip daddr 4.3.2.1/32 drop

All testing was performed on the loopback interface to avoid distorting
measurements by the packet handling in the low-level Ethernet driver.
This required the following small patch:
