skb truesize currently accounts for sk_buff struct and part of skb head.
kmalloc() roundings are also ignored.

Considering that skb_shared_info is larger than sk_buff, its time to
take it into account for better memory accounting.

This patch introduces SKB_TRUESIZE(X) macro to centralize various
assumptions into a single place.

At skb alloc phase, we put skb_shared_info struct at the exact end of
skb head, to allow a better use of memory (lowering number of
reallocations), since kmalloc() gives us power-of-two memory blocks.

Unless SLUB/SLUB debug is active, both skb->head and skb_shared_info are
aligned to cache lines, as before.

Note: This patch might trigger performance regressions because of
misconfigured protocol stacks, hitting per socket or global memory
limits that were previously not reached. But its a necessary step for a
more accurate memory accounting.

Here PC is at __alloc_skb and &shinfo->dataref is unaligned because
skb->end can be unaligned without this patch.

As explained by Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>, this happens
only with SLOB, and not with SLAB or SLUB:
