Johann Baudy 69e3c75f4d 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).
