Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/2] xsk: speed-up generic full-copy xmit

There are a few moments that are known for sure at the moment of
copying:
 - allocated skb is fully linear;
 - its linear space is long enough to hold the full buffer data.

So, the out-of-line skb_put(), skb_store_bits() and the check for
a retcode can be replaced with plain memcpy(__skb_put()) with
no loss.
Also align memcpy()'s len to sizeof(long) to improve its performance.
