vxlan: reduce dirty cache line in vxlan_find_mac
vxlan_find_mac() unconditionally set f->used for every packet, this causes a cache miss for every packet, since remote, hlist and used of vxlan_fdb share the same cache line, which are accessed when send every packets. so f->used is set only if not equal to jiffies, to reduce dirty cache line times, this gives 3% speed-up with small packets.
