net: Don't copy pfmemalloc flag in __copy_skb_header() 

The pfmemalloc flag indicates that the skb was allocated from
the PFMEMALLOC reserves, and the flag is currently copied on skb
copy and clone.

However, an skb copied from an skb flagged with pfmemalloc
wasn't necessarily allocated from PFMEMALLOC reserves, and on
the other hand an skb allocated that way might be copied from an
skb that wasn't.

So we should not copy the flag on skb copy, and rather decide
whether to allow an skb to be associated with sockets unrelated
to page reclaim depending only on how it was allocated.

Move the pfmemalloc flag before headers_start[0] using an
existing 1-bit hole, so that __copy_skb_header() doesn't copy
it.

When cloning, we'll now take care of this flag explicitly,
contravening to the warning comment of __skb_clone().

While at it, restore the newline usage introduced by commit
b193722731 ("net: reorganize sk_buff for faster
__copy_skb_header()") to visually separate bytes used in
bitfields after headers_start[0], that was gone after commit
a9e419dc7b ("netfilter: merge ctinfo into nfct pointer storage
area"), and describe the pfmemalloc flag in the kernel-doc
structure comment.

This doesn't change the size of sk_buff or cacheline boundaries,
but consolidates the 15 bits hole before tc_index into a 2 bytes
hole before csum, that could now be filled more easily.
