We are about to use page_frag_alloc_*() API to not just
allocate memory for skb->data, but also use them to do
the memory allocation for skb frag too. Currently the
implementation of page_frag in mm subsystem is running
the offset as a countdown rather than count-up value,
there may have several advantages to that as mentioned
in [1], but it may have some disadvantages, for example,
it may disable skb frag coalescing and more correct cache
prefetching
We have a trade-off to make in order to have a unified
implementation and API for page_frag, so use a initial zero
offset in this patch, and the following patch will try to
make some optimization to avoid the disadvantages as much
as possible.
