netfilter: add netfilter ingress hook after handle_ing() under unique…

… static key

This patch adds the Netfilter ingress hook just after the existing tc ingress
hook, that seems to be the consensus solution for this.

Note that the Netfilter hook resides under the global static key that enables
ingress filtering. Nonetheless, Netfilter still also has its own static key for
minimal impact on the existing handle_ing().

Note that the results are very similar before and after.

I can see gcc gets the code under the ingress static key out of the hot path.
Then, on that cold branch, it generates the code to accomodate the netfilter
ingress static key. My explanation for this is that this reduces the pressure
on the instruction cache for non-users as the new code is out of the hot path,
and it comes with minimal impact for tc ingress users.

Using gcc version 4.8.4 on:
