net: add skb_recycle_check() to enable netdriver skb recycling
This patch adds skb_recycle_check(), which can be used by a network driver after transmitting an skb to check whether this skb can be recycled as a receive buffer. skb_recycle_check() checks that the skb is not shared or cloned, and that it is linear and its head portion large enough (as determined by the driver) to be recycled as a receive buffer. If these conditions are met, it does any necessary reference count dropping and cleans up the skbuff as if it just came from __alloc_skb().
