net/tun: implement ndo_set_rx_headroom ndo_set_rx_headroom controls the align value used by tun devices to allocate skbs on frame reception. When the xmit device adds a large encapsulation, this avoids an skb head reallocation on forwarding. The measured improvement when forwarding towards a vxlan dev with frame size below the egress device MTU is as follow: vxlan over ipv6, bridged: +6% vxlan over ipv6, ovs: +7% In case of ipv4 tunnels there is no improvement, since the tun device default alignment provides enough headroom to avoid the skb head reallocation.
