net: minor optimization in __alloc_skb()
TCP allocates 'fast clones' skbs for packets in tx queues.
Currently, __alloc_skb() initializes the companion fclone
field to SKB_FCLONE_CLONE, and leaves other fields untouched.
It makes sense to defer this init much later in skb_clone(),
because all fclone fields are copied and hot in cpu caches
at that time.
This removes one cache line miss in __alloc_skb(), cost seen
on an host with 256 cpus all competing on memory accesses.
