net: updating dst lastusage is an unlikely event.
Since commit 0da4af00 ("ipv6: only update __use and lastusetime once per jiffy at most"), updating the dst lastuse field is an unlikely action: it happens at most once per jiffy, out of potentially millions of calls per second. Mark explicitly the code as such, and let the compiler generate better code. Note: gcc 7.2 and several older versions do actually generate different - better - code when the unlikely() hint is in place, avoid jump in the fast path and keeping better code locality.
