Sometimes we need to coalesce the rx frags to avoid frag list. One example is
virtio-net driver which tries to use small frags for both MTU sized packet and
GSO packet. So this patch introduce skb_coalesce_rx_frag() to do this.

This unref is not logical, or should at least be

__skb_frag_unref(frag);

But I do think this is best done in the caller.

In virtio_net this would be a :

put_page(page);

In tcp stack we do almost the same, but we take the reference on the
page if we could not coalesce with prio frag, instead of doing a get and
put in the other case.

        if (can_coalesce) {
                skb_frag_size_add(&skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[i - 1], copy);
        } else {
                get_page(page);
                skb_fill_page_desc(skb, i, page, offset, copy);
        }
Ok, get it. Will do a put_page() in V3.

Thanks
