[PATCH] usbnet: jump to rx_cleanup case instead of calling skb_queue_tail

From: Leesoo Ahn

The current source pushes skb into dev->done queue by calling
skb_queue_tail() and then, call skb_dequeue() to pop for rx_cleanup state
to free urb and skb next in usbnet_bh().
It wastes CPU resource with extra instructions. Instead, use return values
jumping to rx_cleanup case directly to free them. Therefore calling
skb_queue_tail() and skb_dequeue() is not necessary.

The follows are just showing difference between calling skb_queue_tail()
and using return values jumping to rx_cleanup state directly in usbnet_bh()
in Arm64 instructions with perf tool.

----------- calling skb_queue_tail() -----------
│ if (!(dev->driver_info->flags & FLAG_RX_ASSEMBLE))
7.58 │248: ldr x0, [x20, #16]
2.46 │24c: ldr w0, [x0, #8]
1.64 │250: ↑ tbnz w0, #14, 16c
│ dev->net->stats.rx_errors++;
0.57 │254: ldr x1, [x20, #184]
1.64 │258: ldr x0, [x1, #336]
2.65 │25c: add x0, x0, #0x1
│260: str x0, [x1, #336]
│ skb_queue_tail(&dev->done, skb);
0.38 │264: mov x1, x19
│268: mov x0, x21
2.27 │26c: → bl skb_queue_tail
0.57 │270: ↑ b 44 // branch to call skb_dequeue()

----------- jumping to rx_cleanup state -----------
│ if (!(dev->driver_info->flags & FLAG_RX_ASSEMBLE))
1.69 │25c: ldr x0, [x21, #16]
4.78 │260: ldr w0, [x0, #8]
3.28 │264: ↑ tbnz w0, #14, e4 // jump to 'rx_cleanup' state
│ dev->net->stats.rx_errors++;
0.09 │268: ldr x1, [x21, #184]
2.72 │26c: ldr x0, [x1, #336]
3.37 │270: add x0, x0, #0x1
0.09 │274: str x0, [x1, #336]
0.66 │278: ↑ b e4 // branch to 'rx_cleanup' state
