Subject: ipv4: Drop suffix update from resize code

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com>


[ Upstream commit a52ca62c4a6771028da9c1de934cdbcd93d54bb4 ]

It has been reported that update_suffix can be expensive when it is called
on a large node in which most of the suffix lengths are the same.  The time
required to add 200K entries had increased from around 3 seconds to almost
49 seconds.

In order to address this we need to move the code for updating the suffix
out of resize and instead just have it handled in the cases where we are
pushing a node that increases the suffix length, or will decrease the
suffix length.

Fixes: 5405afd1a306 ("fib_trie: Add tracking value for suffix length")
