Eric Dumazet 1ec05e6b8c atl1c: use custom skb allocator
[ Upstream commit 7b70176421 ]

We had reports ( https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54021 )
that using high order pages for skb allocations is problematic for atl1c

We do not know exactly what the problem is, but we suspect that crossing
4K pages is not well supported by this hardware.

Use a custom allocator, using page allocator and 2K fragments for
optimal stack behavior. We might make this allocator generic
in future kernels.
