esp6: Avoid skb_cow_data whenever possible

Browse source

This patch tries to avoid skb_cow_data on esp6.

On the encrypt side we add the IPsec tailbits
to the linear part of the buffer if there is
space on it. If there is no space on the linear
part, we add a page fragment with the tailbits to
the buffer and use separate src and dst scatterlists.

On the decrypt side, we leave the buffer as it is
if it is not cloned.

With this, we can avoid a linearization of the buffer
in most of the cases.
