tcp: makes tcp_try_coalesce aware of skb->head_frag
TCP coalesce can check if skb to be merged has its skb->head mapped to a
page fragment, instead of a kmalloc() area.
We had to disable coalescing in this case, for performance reasons.
We 'upgrade' skb->head as a fragment in itself.
This reduces number of cache misses when user makes its copies, since a
less sk_buff are fetched.
This makes receive and ofo queues shorter and thus reduce cache line
misses in TCP stack.
This is a followup of patch "net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment"
Tested with tg3 nic, with GRO on or off. We can see "TCPRcvCoalesce"
counter being incremented.
