rxrpc: Use the UDP encap_rcv hook
Use the UDP encap_rcv hook to cut the bit out of the rxrpc packet reception in which a packet is placed onto the UDP receive queue and then immediately removed again by rxrpc. Going via the queue in this manner seems like it should be unnecessary. This does, however, require the invention of a value to place in encap_type as that's one of the conditions to switch packets out to the encap_rcv hook. Possibly the value doesn't actually matter for anything other than sockopts on the UDP socket, which aren't accessible outside of rxrpc anyway. This seems to cut a bit of time out of the time elapsed between each sk_buff being timestamped and turning up in rxrpc (the final number in the following trace excerpts). I measured this by making the rxrpc_rx_packet trace point print the time elapsed between the skb being timestamped and the current time (in ns), e.g.: ... 424.278721: rxrpc_rx_packet: ...
