Alexander Duyck fd11a83dd3 net: Pull out core bits of __netdev_alloc_skb and add __napi_alloc_skb
This change pulls the core functionality out of __netdev_alloc_skb and
places them in a new function named __alloc_rx_skb.  The reason for doing
this is to make these bits accessible to a new function __napi_alloc_skb.
In addition __alloc_rx_skb now has a new flags value that is used to
determine which page frag pool to allocate from.  If the SKB_ALLOC_NAPI
flag is set then the NAPI pool is used.  The advantage of this is that we
do not have to use local_irq_save/restore when accessing the NAPI pool from
NAPI context.

In my test setup I saw at least 11ns of savings using the napi_alloc_skb
function versus the netdev_alloc_skb function, most of this being due to
the fact that we didn't have to call local_irq_save/restore.

The main use case for napi_alloc_skb would be for things such as copybreak
or page fragment based receive paths where an skb is allocated after the
data has been received instead of before.
