[v3 net-next 09/10] skbuff: reuse NAPI skb cache on allocation path (__alloc_skb())

From: Alexander Lobakin
Date: Tue Feb 09 2021 - 19:24:11 EST


Try to use the same technique for obtaining skbuff_head from NAPI
cache in {,__}alloc_skb(). Two points here:
- __alloc_skb() can be used for allocating clones or allocating skbs
for distant nodes. Try to grab head from the cache only for
non-clones and for local nodes;
- can be called from any context, so napi_safe == false.
