net: make GRO aware of skb->head_frag
GRO can check if skb to be merged has its skb->head mapped to a page
fragment, instead of a kmalloc() area.
We 'upgrade' skb->head as a fragment in itself
This avoids the frag_list fallback, and permits to build true GRO skb
(one sk_buff and up to 16 fragments), using less memory.
This reduces number of cache misses when user makes its copy, since a
single sk_buff is fetched.
This is a followup of patch "net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment"
