[PATCH net-next 3/5] skbuff: reuse skbuff_heads from flush_skb_cache if available

Instead of unconditional allocating a new skbuff_head and
unconditional flushing of flush_skb_cache, reuse the ones queued
up for flushing if there are any.
skbuff_heads stored in flush_skb_cache are already unreferenced
from any pages or extensions and almost ready for use. We perform
zeroing in __napi_alloc_skb() anyway, regardless of where did our
skbuff_head came from.
