[PATCH v3 3/6] net: add support for per-paged-fragment destructors

[Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com>]

Entities which care about the complete lifecycle of pages which they inject
into the network stack via an skb paged fragment can choose to set this
destructor in order to receive a callback when the stack is really finished
with a page (including all clones, retransmits, pull-ups etc etc).

This destructor will always be propagated alongside the struct page when
copying skb_frag_t->page. This is the reason I chose to embed the destructor in
a "struct { } page" within the skb_frag_t, rather than as a separate field,
since it allows existing code which propagates ->frags[N].page to Just
Work(tm).

When the destructor is present the page reference counting is done slightly
differently. No references are held by the network stack on the struct page (it
is up to the caller to manage this as necessary) instead the network stack will
track references via the count embedded in the destructor structure. When this
reference count reaches zero then the destructor will be called and the caller
can take the necesary steps to release the page (i.e. release the struct page
reference itself).

The intention is that callers can use this callback to delay completion to
_their_ callers until the network stack has completely released the page, in
order to prevent use-after-free or modification of data pages which are still
in use by the stack.

It is allowable (indeed expected) for a caller to share a single destructor
instance between multiple pages injected into the stack e.g. a group of pages
included in a single higher level operation might share a destructor which is
used to complete that higher level operation.

With this change and the previous two changes to shinfo alignment and field
orderring it is now the case tyhat on a 64 bit system with 64 byte cache lines,
everything from nr_frags until the end of frags[0] is on the same cacheline.
