netfilter: nft_payload: add optimized payload implementation for small loads

Add an optimized payload expression implementation for small (up to 4 bytes)
aligned data loads from the linear packet area.

This patch also includes original Patrick McHardy's entitled (nf_tables:
inline nft_payload_fast_eval() into main evaluation loop).
