[NET]: Implement SKB fast cloning.
Protocols that make extensive use of SKB cloning,
for example TCP, eat at least 2 allocations per
packet sent as a result.
To cut the kmalloc() count in half, we implement
a pre-allocation scheme wherein we allocate
2 sk_buff objects in advance, then use a simple
reference count to free up the memory at the
correct time.
Based upon an initial patch by Thomas Graf and
suggestions from Herbert Xu.
