[PATCH net-next] tcp: tcp_sendmsg() page recycling

[Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>]

If our TCP_PAGE(sk) is not shared (page_count() == 1), we can set page
offset to 0.

This permits better filling of the pages on small to medium tcp writes.

"tbench 16" results on my dev server (2x4x2 machine) :

Before : 3072 MB/s
After  : 3146 MB/s  (2.4 % gain)
