The dma map fields in the skb_shared_info structure no longer has any users
and can be dropped since it is making the skb_shared_info unecessarily larger.

Running slabtop show that we were using 4K slabs for the skb-&gt;head on x86_64 w/
an allocation size of 1522.  It turns out that the dma_head and dma_maps array
made skb_shared large enough that we had crossed over the 2k boundary with
standard frames and as such we were using 4k blocks of memory for all skbs.

Commit e992cd9b72a18 (kmemcheck: make bitfield annotations truly no-ops
when disabled) allows us to revert a workaround we did in the past to
not add holes in sk_buff structure.

This patch partially reverts commit 14d18a81b5171
(net: fix kmemcheck annotations) so that sparse doesnt complain:

include/linux/skbuff.h:357:41: error: invalid bitfield specifier for
type restricted __be16.

<title>skbuff: align sk_buff::cb to 64 bit and close some potential holes</title>

<id>da3f5cf1f8ebb0fab5c5fd09adb189166594ad6c</id>
<content type='text'>
The alignment requirement for 64-bit load/store instructions on ARM is
implementation defined. Some CPUs (such as Marvell Feroceon) do not
generate an exception, if such an instruction is executed with an
address that is not 64 bit aligned. In such a case, the Feroceon
corrupts adjacent memory, which showed up in my tests as a crash in the
rx path of ath9k that only occured with CONFIG_XFRM set.

This crash happened, because the first field of the mac80211 rx status
info in the cb is an u64, and changing it corrupted the skb-&gt;sp field.

This patch also closes some potential pre-existing holes in the sk_buff
struct surrounding the cb[] area.

The two functions skb_dma_map/unmap are unsafe to use as they cause
problems when packets are cloned and sent to multiple devices while a HW
IOMMU is enabled.  Due to this it is best to remove the code so it is not
used by any other network driver maintainters.

On UDP sockets, we must call skb_free_datagram() with socket locked,
or risk sk_forward_alloc corruption. This requirement is not respected
in SUNRPC.

Add a convenient helper, skb_free_datagram_locked() and use it in SUNRPC
