Merge branch 'tcp_skb_cb'

Eric Dumazet says:

====================
tcp: better TCP_SKB_CB layout

TCP had the assumption that IPCB and IP6CB are first members of skb->cb[]

This is fine, except that IPCB/IP6CB are used in TCP for a very short time
in input path.

What really matters for TCP stack is to get skb->next,
TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq, and TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->end_seq in the same cache line.

skb that are immediately consumed do not care because whole skb->cb[] is
hot in cpu cache, while skb that sit in wocket write queue or receive queues
do not need TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->header at all.

This patch set implements the prereq for IPv4, IPv6, and TCP to make this
possible. This makes TCP more efficient.
