Paolo Abeni b65f164d37 ipv6: let trace_fib6_table_lookup() dereference the fib table
The perf traces for ipv6 routing code show a relevant cost around
trace_fib6_table_lookup(), even if no trace is enabled. This is
due to the fib6_table de-referencing currently performed by the
caller.

Let's the tracing code pay this overhead, passing to the trace
helper the table pointer. This gives small but measurable
performance improvement under UDP flood.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
