udp: msg_zerocopy



Extend zerocopy to udp sockets. Allow setting sockopt SO_ZEROCOPY and
interpret flag MSG_ZEROCOPY.

This patch was previously part of the zerocopy RFC patchsets. Zerocopy
is not effective at small MTU. With segmentation offload building
larger datagrams, the benefit of page flipping outweights the cost of
generating a completion notification.

tools/testing/selftests/net/msg_zerocopy.sh after applying follow-on
test patch and making skb_orphan_frags_rx same as skb_orphan_frags:

    ipv4 udp -t 1
    tx=191312 (11938 MB) txc=0 zc=n
    rx=191312 (11938 MB)
    ipv4 udp -z -t 1
    tx=304507 (19002 MB) txc=304507 zc=y
    rx=304507 (19002 MB)
    ok
    ipv6 udp -t 1
    tx=174485 (10888 MB) txc=0 zc=n
    rx=174485 (10888 MB)
    ipv6 udp -z -t 1
    tx=294801 (18396 MB) txc=294801 zc=y
    rx=294801 (18396 MB)
    ok

Changes
  v1 -> v2
    - Fixup reverse christmas tree violation
  v2 -> v3
    - Split refcount avoidance optimization into separate patch
      - Fix refcount leak on error in fragmented case
        (thanks to Paolo Abeni for pointing this one out!)
      - Fix refcount inc on zero
      - Test sock_flag SOCK_ZEROCOPY directly in __ip_append_data.
        This is needed since commit 5cf4a853 ("tcp: really ignore
	MSG_ZEROCOPY if no SO_ZEROCOPY") did the same for tcp.
