[IPV4] FIB_HASH : Avoid unecessary loop in fn_hash_dump_zone()

Browse source

I noticed "ip route list" was slower than "cat /proc/net/route" on a
machine with a full Internet routing table (214392 entries : Special
thanks to Robert ;) )

This is similar to problem reported in commit
d8c9283089 ("[IPV4] ROUTE: ip_rt_dump()
is unecessary slow")

Fix is to avoid scanning the begining of fz_hash table, but directly
seek to the right offset.

Before patch :

time ip route >/tmp/ROUTE

real    0m1.285s
user    0m0.712s
sys     0m0.436s

After patch

# time ip route >/tmp/ROUTE

real    0m0.835s
user    0m0.692s
sys     0m0.124s
