The tun XDP sendmsg code path, unconditionally computes the symmetric
hash of each packet for RFS's sake, even when we could skip it. e.g.
when the device has a single queue.

This change adds the check already in-place for the skb sendmsg path
to avoid unneeded hashing.

The above gives small, but measurable, performance gain for VM xmit
path when zerocopy is not enabled.
