Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Cleanups for head_frag usage and tcp_try_coalese

I wrote up these patches earlier today to address issues related to the
splitting of reference counting into two seperate counts in the case of
skbs containing a head frag.  In addition I have a secondary patch for
tcp_try_coalesce which is meant to be a general cleanup as I found it
difficult to read through the code as it was.

I have done some performance testing on the series with netperf and saw no
appreciable difference after these changes for the non-cloned case.
