net: Remove likely from l3mdev_master_ifindex_by_index
The likely() annotation in l3mdev_master_ifindex_by_index() has been found to be incorrect 100% of the time in real-world workloads (e.g., web servers). Annotated branches shows the following in these servers: correct incorrect % Function File Line 0 169053813 100 l3mdev_master_ifindex_by_index l3mdev.h 81 This is happening because l3mdev_master_ifindex_by_index() is called from __inet_check_established(), which calls l3mdev_master_ifindex_by_index() passing the socked bounded interface. l3mdev_master_ifindex_by_index(net, sk->sk_bound_dev_if); Since most sockets are not going to be bound to a network device, the likely() is giving the wrong assumption. Remove the likely() annotation to ensure more accurate branch prediction.
