net: core: propagate SKB lists through packet_type lookup
__netif_receive_skb_core() does a depressingly large amount of per-packet
work that can't easily be listified, because the another_round looping
makes it nontrivial to slice up into smaller functions.
Fortunately, most of that work disappears in the fast path:
* Hardware devices generally don't have an rx_handler
* Unless you're tcpdumping or something, there is usually only one ptype
* VLAN processing comes before the protocol ptype lookup, so doesn't force
a pt_prev deliver
so normally, __netif_receive_skb_core() will run straight through and pass
back the one ptype found in ptype_base[hash of skb->protocol].
