Currently, the tun driver, in absence of an eBPF steering program,
always compute the rxhash in its rx path, even when such value
is later unused due to additional checks (

This changeset moves the all the related checks just before the
__skb_get_hash_symmetric(), so that the latter is no more computed
when unneeded.

Also replace an unneeded RCU section with rcu_access_pointer().
