Subject: [ 164/175] net: fix napi_reuse_skb() skb reserve

3.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 2a2a459eeeff48640dc557548ce576d666ab06ed ]

napi->skb is allocated in napi_get_frags() using
netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align(), with a reserve of NET_SKB_PAD +
NET_IP_ALIGN bytes.

However, when such skb is recycled in napi_reuse_skb(), it ends with a
reserve of NET_IP_ALIGN which is suboptimal.
