[IPV4]: Remove likely in ip_rcv_finish()

This is another result from my likely profiling tool
(dwalker@mvista.com just sent the patch of the profiling tool to
linux-kernel mailing list, which is similar to what I use).

On my system (not very busy, normal development machine within a
VMWare workstation), I see a 6/5 miss/hit ratio for this "likely".
