Subject: [PATCH net-next v6 1/6] net: allow > 0 order atomic page alloc in skb_page_frag_refill

skb_page_frag_refill currently permits only order-0 page allocs
unless GFP_WAIT is used. Change skb_page_frag_refill to attempt
higher-order page allocations whether or not GFP_WAIT is used. If
memory cannot be allocated, the allocator will fall back to
successively smaller page allocs (down to order-0 page allocs).

This change brings skb_page_frag_refill in line with the existing
page allocation strategy employed by netdev_alloc_frag, which attempts
higher-order page allocations whether or not GFP_WAIT is set, falling
back to successively lower-order page allocations on failure. Part
of migration of virtio-net to per-receive queue page frag allocators.
