[RFC 3/4] pktgen: clock optimizations

[Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: pktgen-avoid-clock.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1399 bytes --]

This optimizes pktgen to avoid calling ktime_get_ts unless
it is needed. 
  * if delay is 0, then no need to update next_tx
  * if queue is stopped, then keep old value will already force
    tx on next cycle.
