Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 2/4] net: Introduce {netdev,napi}_alloc_frag_align()

In the current implementation of {netdev,napi}_alloc_frag(), it doesn't
have any align guarantee for the returned buffer address, But for some
hardwares they do require the DMA buffer to be aligned correctly,
so we would have to use some workarounds like below if the buffers
allocated by the {netdev,napi}_alloc_frag() are used by these hardwares
for DMA.
    buf = napi_alloc_frag(really_needed_size + align);
    buf = PTR_ALIGN(buf, align);

These codes seems ugly and would waste a lot of memories if the buffers
are used in a network driver for the TX/RX. We have added the align
support for the page_frag functions, so add the corresponding
{netdev,napi}_frag functions.
