ndo_get_peer_dev is used in tcx BPF fast path, therefore make use of indirect call wrapper and therefore optimize the bpf_redirect_peer() internal handling a bit. Add a small skb_get_peer_dev() wrapper which utilizes the INDIRECT_CALL_1() macro instead of open coding. Future work could potentially add a peer pointer directly into struct net_device in future and convert veth and netkit over to use it so that eventually ndo_get_peer_dev can be removed.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
