udp: generate gso with UDP_SEGMENT

Support generic segmentation offload for udp datagrams. Callers can
concatenate and send at once the payload of multiple datagrams with
the same destination.

To set segment size, the caller sets socket option UDP_SEGMENT to the
length of each discrete payload. This value must be smaller than or
equal to the relevant MTU.

A follow-up patch adds cmsg UDP_SEGMENT to specify segment size on a
per send call basis.

Total byte length may then exceed MTU. If not an exact multiple of
segment size, the last segment will be shorter.

The implementation adds a gso_size field to the udp socket, ip(v6)
cmsg cookie and inet_cork structure to be able to set the value at
setsockopt or cmsg time and to work with both lockless and corked
paths.

Initial benchmark numbers show UDP GSO about as expensive as TCP GSO.

    tcp tso
     3197 MB/s 54232 msg/s 54232 calls/s
         6,457,754,262      cycles

    udp gso
     2139 MB/s 36282 msg/s 36282 calls/s
        11,204,374,561      cycles

   [*] after reverting commit 0a6b2a1dc2a2
       ("tcp: switch to GSO being always on")

Measured total system cycles ('-a') for one core while pinning both
the network receive path and benchmark process to that core:

  perf stat -a -C 12 -e cycles \
    ./udpgso_bench_tx -C 12 -4 -D "$DST" -l 4

Note the reduction in calls/s with GSO. Bytes per syscall drops
increases from 1470 to 61818.
