ipvs: avoid indirect calls when calculating checksums
The function pointer ip_vs_protocol->csum_check is only used in protocol specific code, and never in the generic one. Remove the function pointer from struct ip_vs_protocol and call the checksum functions directly. This reduces the performance impact of the Spectre mitigation, and should give a small improvement even with RETPOLINES disabled.
