net: use indirect calls helpers for sk_exit_memory_pressure()

[ Upstream commit 5c1ebbfa ]

Florian reported a regression and sent a patch with the following
changelog:

<quote>
 There is a noticeable tcp performance regression (loopback or cross-netns),
 seen with iperf3 -Z (sendfile mode) when generic retpolines are needed.

 With SK_RECLAIM_THRESHOLD checks gone number of calls to enter/leave
 memory pressure happen much more often. For TCP indirect calls are
 used.

 We can't remove the if-set-return short-circuit check in
 tcp_enter_memory_pressure because there are callers other than
 sk_enter_memory_pressure.  Doing a check in the sk wrapper too
 reduces the indirect calls enough to recover some performance.

 Before,
 0.00-60.00  sec   322 GBytes  46.1 Gbits/sec                  receiver

 After:
 0.00-60.04  sec   359 GBytes  51.4 Gbits/sec                  receiver

 "iperf3 -c $peer -t 60 -Z -f g", connected via veth in another netns.

It seems we forgot to upstream this indirect call mitigation we
had for years, lets do this instead.

[edumazet] - It seems we forgot to upstream this indirect call
             mitigation we had for years, let's do this instead.
           - Changed to INDIRECT_CALL_INET_1() to avoid bots reports.
