ethernet: use likely() for common Ethernet encap
Mark code path's likely/unlikely based on most common usage. * Very few devices use dsa tags. * Most traffic is Ethernet (not 802.2) * No sane person uses trailer type or Novell encapsulation Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
