net: Inline skb_pull() in eth_type_trans().
In commit 6be8ac2f ("[NET]: uninline skb_pull, de-bloats a lot")
we uninlined skb_pull.
But in some critical paths it makes sense to inline this thing
and it helps performance significantly.
Create an skb_pull_inline() so that we can do this in a way that
serves also as annotation.
Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet.
