Just because it was based this line, nothing else:

ip_rcv()
   ...
        IP_ADD_STATS_BH(dev_net(dev),                                     
                        IPSTATS_MIB_NOECTPKTS + (iph->tos & INET_ECN_MASK),
                        max_t(unsigned short, 1, skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_segs));

Including these new lines, this calculation is being done 5 times now,
being just these 2 on tcp, then ip_input.c, ip_output and
ip_tunnel_core.c. I'd rather wait some more to add a helper as coming to
a reasonable name is hard at this point. For iptunnel, it's used at
iptunnel_xmit() for example. Or perhaps you have another suggestion of
a name?

Thanks,
Marcelo
