Alexander Lobakin 66c556025d skbuff: back tiny skbs with kmalloc() in __netdev_alloc_skb() too 
Commit 3226b158e6 ("net: avoid 32 x truesize under-estimation for
tiny skbs") ensured that skbs with data size lower than 1025 bytes
will be kmalloc'ed to avoid excessive page cache fragmentation and
memory consumption.
However, the fix adressed only __napi_alloc_skb() (primarily for
virtio_net and napi_get_frags()), but the issue can still be achieved
through __netdev_alloc_skb(), which is still used by several drivers.
Drivers often allocate a tiny skb for headers and place the rest of
the frame to frags (so-called copybreak).
Mirror the condition to __netdev_alloc_skb() to handle this case too.

Since v1 [0]:
 - fix "Fixes:" tag;
 - refine commit message (mention copybreak usecase).

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
