net: TX_RING and packet mmap
New packet socket feature that makes packet socket more efficient for
transmission.
- It reduces number of system call through a PACKET_TX_RING mechanism,
based on PACKET_RX_RING (Circular buffer allocated in kernel space
which is mmapped from user space).
- It minimizes CPU copy using fragmented SKB (almost zero copy).
