I moved the syscall implementation to a stand alone file and put the file
to net directory for testing. The new patch is like:
https://zerobin.net/?a2b782afadf3c428#Me8l4AJuhiSCfaLVWVzydAVIK6ves0EVIVD76wLnVQo=


The test result is like following:
- on Cascade Lake: -10.4%
356365 -10.4% 319180 netperf.Throughput_total_tps
22272 -10.4% 19948 netperf.Throughput_tps


- on Cooper Lake: -4.0%
345772 ± 4% -4.0% 331814 netperf.Throughput_total_tps
21610 ± 4% -4.0% 20738 netperf.Throughput_tps


- on Ice Lake: -1.1%
509824 -1.1% 504434 netperf.Throughput_total_tps
31864 -1.1% 31527 netperf.Throughput_tps
