netfilter: use jump_label for nf_hooks
On configs where CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=y, we can replace in fast path a load/compare/conditional jump by a single jump with no dcache reference. Jump target is modified as soon as nf_hooks[pf][hook] switches from empty state to non empty states. jump_label state is kept outside of nf_hooks array so has no cost on cpu caches. This patch removes the test on CONFIG_NETFILTER_DEBUG : No need to call nf_hook_slow() at all if nf_hooks[pf][hook] is empty, this didnt give useful information, but slowed down things a lot.
