net: ipv6: seg6_iptunnel: mitigate 2-realloc issue
This patch mitigates the two-reallocations issue with seg6_iptunnel by
providing the dst_entry (in the cache) to the first call to
skb_cow_head(). As a result, the very first iteration would still
trigger two reallocations (i.e., empty cache), while next iterations
would only trigger a single reallocation.
Performance tests before/after applying this patch, which clearly shows
the improvement:
