Update our reference driver to use netdev_alloc_frag() API instead of
the temporary custom allocator I introduced in commit 8d4057a938
(tg3: provide frags as skb head)

This removes the memory leak we had, since we could leak one page at
device dismantle.

Hmmm, doesn't apply cleanly to net-next for some reason:

[davem@drr net-next]$ git am --signoff net-next-tg3-use-netdev_alloc_frag-API.patch 
Applying: tg3: use netdev_alloc_frag() API
error: patch failed: drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c:5631

When you have resolved this problem run "git am --resolved".
If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git am --skip".
To restore the original branch and stop patching run "git am --abort".
Indeed, there is an extra space at the end of one line in my tree... ???

atomic_add((PAGE_SIZE / TG3_FRAGSIZE) - 1, &page->_count); <HERE>

I submit a v2 immediately.

Sorry
