ip: add helpers to process in-order fragments faster.

commit 353c9cb360874e737fb000545f783df756c06f9a upstream.

This patch introduces several helper functions/macros that will be
used in the follow-up patch. No runtime changes yet.

The new logic (fully implemented in the second patch) is as follows:

* Nodes in the rb-tree will now contain not single fragments, but lists
  of consecutive fragments ("runs").

* At each point in time, the current "active" run at the tail is
  maintained/tracked. Fragments that arrive in-order, adjacent
  to the previous tail fragment, are added to this tail run without
  triggering the re-balancing of the rb-tree.

* If a fragment arrives out of order with the offset _before_ the tail run,
  it is inserted into the rb-tree as a single fragment.

* If a fragment arrives after the current tail fragment (with a gap),
  it starts a new "tail" run, as is inserted into the rb-tree
  at the end as the head of the new run.

skb->cb is used to store additional information
needed here (suggested by Eric Dumazet).
