netfilter: x_tables: don't extract flow keys on early demuxed sks in socket match Currently in xt_socket, we take advantage of early demuxed sockets since commit 00028aa37098 ("netfilter: xt_socket: use IP early demux") in order to avoid a second socket lookup in the fast path, but we only make partial use of this: We still unnecessarily parse headers, extract proto, {s,d}addr and {s,d}ports from the skb data, accessing possible conntrack information, etc even though we were not even calling into the socket lookup via xt_socket_get_sock_{v4,v6}() due to skb->sk hit, meaning those cycles can be spared. After this patch, we only proceed the slower, manual lookup path when we have a skb->sk miss, thus time to match verdict for early demuxed sockets will improve further, which might be i.e. interesting for use cases such as mentioned in 681f130f39e1 ("netfilter: xt_socket: add XT_SOCKET_NOWILDCARD flag").
