bpf: Inline LRU map lookup



Inline the lru map lookup to save the cost in making calls to
bpf_map_lookup_elem() and htab_lru_map_lookup_elem().

Different LRU hash size is tested.  The benefit diminishes when
the cache miss starts to dominate in the bigger LRU hash.
Considering the change is simple, it is still worth to optimize.

First column: Size of the LRU hash
Second column: Number of lookups/s

> for i in $(seq 9 20); do echo "$((2**i+1)): $(./map_perf_test 1024 1 $((2**i+1)) 10000000 | awk '{print $3}')"; done
