Eric Dumazet 52d8b8ad2b net: better skb->sender_cpu and skb->napi_id cohabitation
commit 52bd2d62ce6758d811edcbd2256eb9ea7f6a56cb upstream.

skb->sender_cpu and skb->napi_id share a common storage,
and we had various bugs about this.

We had to call skb_sender_cpu_clear() in some places to
not leave a prior skb->napi_id and fool netdev_pick_tx()

As suggested by Alexei, we could split the space so that
these errors can not happen.

0 value being reserved as the common (not initialized) value,
let's reserve [1 .. NR_CPUS] range for valid sender_cpu,
and [NR_CPUS+1 .. ~0U] for valid napi_id.

This will allow proper busy polling support over tunnels.
