net: cache for same cpu skb_attempt_defer_free
Optimise skb_attempt_defer_free() when run by the same CPU the skb was allocated on. Instead of __kfree_skb() -> kmem_cache_free() we can disable softirqs and put the buffer into cpu local caches. CPU bound TCP ping pong style benchmarking (i.e. netbench) showed a 1% throughput increase (392.2 -> 396.4 Krps). Cross checking with profiles, the total CPU share of skb_attempt_defer_free() dropped by 0.6%. Note, I'd expect the win doubled with rx only benchmarks, as the optimisation is for the receive path, but the test spends >55% of CPU doing writes.
