Mel Gorman 0614002bb5 netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc from skb_alloc_page to skb
The skb->pfmemalloc flag gets set to true iff during the slab allocation
of data in __alloc_skb that the the PFMEMALLOC reserves were used.  If
page splitting is used, it is possible that pages will be allocated from
the PFMEMALLOC reserve without propagating this information to the skb.
This patch propagates page->pfmemalloc from pages allocated for fragments
to the skb.

It works by reintroducing and expanding the skb_alloc_page() API to take
an skb.  If the page was allocated from pfmemalloc reserves, it is
automatically copied.  If the driver allocates the page before the skb, it
should call skb_propagate_pfmemalloc() after the skb is allocated to
ensure the flag is copied properly.

Failure to do so is not critical.  The resulting driver may perform slower
if it is used for swap-over-NBD or swap-over-NFS but it should not result
in failure.
