Eric Dumazet ec7d2f2cf3 net: __alloc_skb() speedup
With following patch I can reach maximum rate of my pktgen+udpsink
simulator :
- 'old' machine : dual quad core E5450  @3.00GHz
- 64 UDP rx flows (only differ by destination port)
- RPS enabled, NIC interrupts serviced on cpu0
- rps dispatched on 7 other cores. (~130.000 IPI per second)
- SLAB allocator (faster than SLUB in this workload)
- tg3 NIC
- 1.080.000 pps without a single drop at NIC level.

Idea is to add two prefetchw() calls in __alloc_skb(), one to prefetch
first sk_buff cache line, the second to prefetch the shinfo part.

Also using one memset() to initialize all skb_shared_info fields instead
of one by one to reduce number of instructions, using long word moves.

All skb_shared_info fields before 'dataref' are cleared in 
__alloc_skb().
