skbuff: back tiny skbs with kmalloc() in __netdev_alloc_skb() too
Commit 3226b158 ("net: avoid 32 x truesize under-estimation for tiny skbs") ensured that skbs with data size lower than 1025 bytes will be kmalloc'ed to avoid excessive page cache fragmentation and memory consumption. However, the fix adressed only __napi_alloc_skb() (primarily for virtio_net and napi_get_frags()), but the issue can still be achieved through __netdev_alloc_skb(), which is still used by several drivers. Drivers often allocate a tiny skb for headers and place the rest of the frame to frags (so-called copybreak). Mirror the condition to __netdev_alloc_skb() to handle this case too. Since v1 [0]: - fix "Fixes:" tag; - refine commit message (mention copybreak usecase).
