Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/6] remove page frag implementation in vhost_net

Currently there are three implementations for page frag:

1. mm/page_alloc.c: net stack seems to be using it in the
   rx part with 'struct page_frag_cache' and the main API
   being page_frag_alloc_align().
2. net/core/sock.c: net stack seems to be using it in the
   tx part with 'struct page_frag' and the main API being
   skb_page_frag_refill().
3. drivers/vhost/net.c: vhost seems to be using it to build
   xdp frame, and it's implementation seems to be a mix of
   the above two.

This patch tries to unfiy the page frag implementation a
little bit by unifying gfp bit for order 3 page allocation
and replacing page frag implementation in vhost.c with the
one in page_alloc.c.

After this patchset, we are not only able to unify the page
frag implementation a little, but also able to have about
0.5% performance boost testing by using the vhost_net_test
introduced in the last patch.
