net: mvneta: convert to build_skb() Make use of build_skb() to allocate frags on the RX path. When frag size is lower than a page size, we can use netdev_alloc_frag(), and we fall back to kmalloc() for larger sizes. The frag size is stored into the mvneta_port struct. The alloc/free functions check the frag size to decide what alloc/ free method to use. MTU changes are safe because the MTU change function stops the device and clears the queues before applying the change. With this patch, I observed a reproducible 2% performance improvement on HTTP-based benchmarks, and 5% on small packet RX rate.
