Subject: [net-next v2] virtio_net: replace netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() with napi_alloc_skb()

This gives small but noticeable rx performance improvement (2-3%)
and will allow exploiting future napi improvement.

Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@...hat.com>

 v2: replace also netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() invocation in
	add_recvbuf_small(), suggested by Venkatesh Srinivas
