As we did recently for macvlan, this series adds some relief
when ipvlan is under multicast storms.

Eric Dumazet (2):
  ipvlan: ipvlan_handle_mode_l2() refactoring
  ipvlan: avoid spinlock contention in ipvlan_multicast_enqueue()

Reduce indentation level, and add a likely() clause
as we expect to process more unicast packets than multicast ones.

No functional change, this eases the following patch review.

Under high stress, we spend a lot of time cloning skbs,
then acquiring a spinlock, then freeing the clone because
the queue is full.

Add a shortcut to avoid these costs under pressure, as we did
in macvlan with commit 0d5dc1d7aad1 ("macvlan: avoid spinlock
contention in macvlan_broadcast_enqueue()")
