This function references sk->sk_prot->xxx for many times. It turned out, that there's so many code in it, that gcc cannot always optimize access to sk->sk_prot's fields.
After saving the sk->sk_prot on the stack and comparing disassembled code, it turned out that the function became ~10 bytes shorter and made less dereferences (on i386 and x86_64). Stack consumption didn't grow. Besides, this patch drives most of this function into the 80 columns limit.
