net: more accurate skb truesize
skb truesize currently accounts for sk_buff struct and part of skb head.
kmalloc() roundings are also ignored.
Considering that skb_shared_info is larger than sk_buff, its time to
take it into account for better memory accounting.
This patch introduces SKB_TRUESIZE(X) macro to centralize various
assumptions into a single place.
At skb alloc phase, we put skb_shared_info struct at the exact end of
skb head, to allow a better use of memory (lowering number of
reallocations), since kmalloc() gives us power-of-two memory blocks.
Unless SLUB/SLUB debug is active, both skb->head and skb_shared_info are
aligned to cache lines, as before.
Note: This patch might trigger performance regressions because of
misconfigured protocol stacks, hitting per socket or global memory
limits that were previously not reached. But its a necessary step for a
more accurate memory accounting.
