Small optimizations mostly in ip6_xmit() path.
TX performance increases by about 3 %.
Patches 5-7: add dst4_mtu() and dst6_mtu() to save space.
Last patch colocates inet6_cork in inet_cork_full.
This series reduces kernel size by 494 bytes on x86_64:

Eric Dumazet (8):
ipv6: pass proto by value to ipv6_push_nfrag_opts() and
ipv6_push_frag_opts()
ipv6: add some unlikely()/likely() clauses in ip6_output.c
ipv6: use __skb_push() in ip6_xmit()
ipv6: use SKB_DROP_REASON_PKT_TOO_BIG in ip6_xmit()
inet: add dst4_mtu() and dst6_mtu() helpers
ipv6: use dst6_mtu() instead of dst_mtu()
ipv4: use dst4_mtu() instead of dst_mtu()
ipv6: colocate inet6_cork in inet_cork_full

With CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y, it is better to avoid passing
a pointer to an automatic variable.
Change these exported functions to return 'u8 proto'
instead of void.
- ipv6_push_nfrag_opts()
- ipv6_push_frag_opts()
For instance, replace
ipv6_push_frag_opts(skb, opt, &proto);
with:
proto = ipv6_push_frag_opts(skb, opt, proto);
Note that even after this change, ip6_xmit() has to use a stack canary
because of @first_hop variable.

1) daddr is unlikely a multicast in ip6_finish_output2().
2) ip6_finish_output_gso_slowpath_drop() should not be called often.
3) ip6_fragment() should not be called often.
4) opt is unlikely to be set.
5) ip6_xmit() and ip6_forward() mostly sends not too big packets.
6) Most __ip6_make_skb() calls are for UDP packets,
not ICMPV6 ones.

ip6_xmit() makes sure there is enough headroom in the skb,
it can uses __skb_push() instead of the out-of-line skb_push().

With CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETPOLINE=y dst_mtu() is a bit fat,
because it is generic.
Indeed, clang does not always inline it.
Add dst4_mtu() and dst6_mtu() helpers for callers that
expect either ipv4_mtu() or ip6_mtu() to be called.
These helpers are always inlined.

When we expect an IPv6 dst, use dst6_mtu() instead of dst_mtu()
to save some code space.
Due to current dst6_mtu() implementation, only convert
users in IPv6 stack.
