      net: Remove LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE

The macro LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE was ill-conceived.  It applies the
alignment to the sum of needed_headroom and needed_tailroom.  As
the amount that is then reserved for head room is needed_headroom
with alignment, this means that the tail room left may be too small.

Now that all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE have been removed, this
patch finally removes the macro itself.

This patch replaces all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE with the macro
LL_RESERVED_SPACE and direct reference to needed_tailroom.

This also fixes the problem with needed_headroom changing between
allocating the skb and reserving the head room.

      net-forcedeth: fix possible stats inaccuracies on 32b hosts · 505a467b
      david decotigny authored 
      The software stats are updated from BH, this change ensures that 32b
UP hosts use appropriate protection.

Tested:
  - HW/SW stats consistent with pktgen (in particular tx=rx)
  - HW/SW stats consistent when tx/rx offloads disabled
  - no problem with+without lockdep (SMP 16-way)

      bnx2: switch to build_skb() infrastructure · dd2bc8e9
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      This is very similar to bnx2x conversion, but bnx2 only requires 16bytes
alignement at start of the received frame to store its l2_fhdr, so goal
was not to reduce skb truesize (in fact it should not change after this
patch)

Using build_skb() reduces cache line misses in the driver, since we
use cache hot skb instead of cold ones. Number of in-flight sk_buff
structures is lower, they are more likely recycled in SLUB caches
while still hot.
