Jason Baron 61341d9358 net: allow alloc_skb_with_frags() to use MAX_SKB_FRAGS
[ Upstream commit ca9f9cdc4d ]

Currently, alloc_skb_with_frags() will only fill (MAX_SKB_FRAGS - 1)
slots. I think it should use all MAX_SKB_FRAGS slots, as callers of
alloc_skb_with_frags() will size their allocation of frags based
on MAX_SKB_FRAGS.

This issue was discovered via a test patch that sets 'order' to 0
in alloc_skb_with_frags(), which effectively tests/simulates high
fragmentation. In this case sendmsg() on unix sockets will fail every
time for large allocations. If the PAGE_SIZE is 4K, then data_len will
request 68K or 17 pages, but alloc_skb_with_frags() can only allocate
64K in this case or 16 pages.

Fixes: 09c2c90705 ("net: allow alloc_skb_with_frags() to allocate bigger packets")
