sock: MSG_ZEROCOPY notification coalescing

In the simple case, each sendmsg() call generates data and eventually
a zerocopy ready notification N, where N indicates the Nth successful
invocation of sendmsg() with the MSG_ZEROCOPY flag on this socket.

TCP and corked sockets can cause send() calls to append new data to an
existing sk_buff and, thus, ubuf_info. In that case the notification
must hold a range. odify ubuf_info to store a inclusive range [N..N+m]
and add skb_zerocopy_realloc() to optionally extend an existing range.

Also coalesce notifications in this common case: if a notification
[1, 1] is about to be queued while [0, 0] is the queue tail, just modify
the head of the queue to read [0, 1].

Coalescing is limited to a few TSO frames worth of data to bound
notification latency.
