====================
inet: add drop monitor support

I recently tried to analyse flakes in ip_defrag selftest.
This failed miserably.

IPv4 and IPv6 reassembly units are causing false kfree_skb()
notifications. It is time to deal with this issue.

First two patches are changing core networking to better
deal with eventual skb frag_list chains, in respect
of kfree_skb/consume_skb status.

Last three patches are adding three new drop reasons,
and make sure skbs that have been reassembled into
a large datagram are no longer viewed as dropped ones.

After this, understanding why ip_defrag selftest is flaky
is possible using standard drop monitoring tools.
