ip: add helpers to process in-order fragments faster.
This patch introduces several helper functions/macros that will be
used in the follow-up patch. No runtime changes yet.
The new logic (fully implemented in the second patch) is as follows:
* Nodes in the rb-tree will now contain not single fragments, but lists
of consecutive fragments ("runs").
* At each point in time, the current "active" run at the tail is
maintained/tracked. Fragments that arrive in-order, adjacent
to the previous tail fragment, are added to this tail run without
triggering the re-balancing of the rb-tree.
* If a fragment arrives out of order with the offset _before_ the tail run,
it is inserted into the rb-tree as a single fragment.
* If a fragment arrives after the current tail fragment (with a gap),
it starts a new "tail" run, as is inserted into the rb-tree
at the end as the head of the new run.
skb->cb is used to store additional information
needed here (suggested by Eric Dumazet).
