[PATCH net-next v2 1/3] net: skb: plumb napi state thru skb freeing paths

[Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>]

We maintain a NAPI-local cache of skbs which is fed by napi_consume_skb().
Going forward we will also try to cache head and data pages.
Plumb the "are we in a normal NAPI context" information thru
deeper into the freeing path, up to skb_release_data() and
skb_free_head()/skb_pp_recycle(). The "not normal NAPI context"
comes from netpoll which passes budget of 0 to try to reap
the Tx completions but not perform any Rx.

Use "bool napi_safe" rather than bare "int budget",
the further we get from NAPI the more confusing the budget
argument may seem (particularly whether 0 or MAX is the
correct value to pass in when not in NAPI).

v2:
 - clarify the budget 0 and fix the name of the argument in
   the commit message
v1:
 - feed the cache in __kfree_skb_defer(), it's in NAPI
 - s/in_normal_napi/napi_safe/
