v2:
    1. add priv_flags IFF_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR instead of netdev_feature
    2. split the patch to three:
        a. add priv_flags IFF_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR
        b. virtio net add priv_flags IFF_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR
        c. When there is support this flag, construct skb without linear space
    3. use ERR_PTR() and PTR_ERR() to handle the err


v1 message log:
---------------

This patch is used to construct skb based on page to save memory copy
overhead.

This has one problem:

We construct the skb by fill the data page as a frag into the skb. In
this way, the linear space is empty, and the header information is also
in the frag, not in the linear space, which is not allowed for some
network cards. For example, Mellanox Technologies MT27710 Family
[ConnectX-4 Lx] will get the following error message:

    mlx5_core 0000:3b:00.1 eth1: Error cqe on cqn 0x817, ci 0x8, qn 0x1dbb, opcode 0xd, syndrome 0x1, vendor syndrome 0x68

    mlx5_core 0000:3b:00.1 eth1: ERR CQE on SQ: 0x1dbb

I also tried to use build_skb to construct skb, but because of the
existence of skb_shinfo, it must be behind the linear space, so this
method is not working. We can't put skb_shinfo on desc->addr, it will be
exposed to users, this is not safe.

Finally, I added a feature NETIF_F_SKB_NO_LINEAR to identify whether the
network card supports the header information of the packet in the frag
and not in the linear space.

---------------- Performance Testing ------------

The test environment is Aliyun ECS server.
Test cmd:
```
xdpsock -i eth0 -t  -S -s <msg size>
```

Test result data:
