Breno Leitao 9e542ff8b7 net: Remove likely from l3mdev_master_ifindex_by_index ...

The likely() annotation in l3mdev_master_ifindex_by_index() has been
found to be incorrect 100% of the time in real-world workloads (e.g.,
web servers).

Annotated branches shows the following in these servers:

	correct incorrect  %        Function                  File              Line
	      0 169053813 100 l3mdev_master_ifindex_by_index l3mdev.h             81

This is happening because l3mdev_master_ifindex_by_index() is called
from __inet_check_established(), which calls
l3mdev_master_ifindex_by_index() passing the socked bounded interface.

	l3mdev_master_ifindex_by_index(net, sk->sk_bound_dev_if);

Since most sockets are not going to be bound to a network device,
the likely() is giving the wrong assumption.

Remove the likely() annotation to ensure more accurate branch
prediction.
