net: compound page support in skb_seq_read

skb_seq_read iterates over an skb, returning pointer and length of
the next data range with each call.

It relies on kmap_atomic to access highmem pages when needed.

An skb frag may be backed by a compound page, but kmap_atomic maps
only a single page. There are not enough kmap slots to always map all
pages concurrently.

Instead, if kmap_atomic is needed, iterate over each page.

As this increases the number of calls, avoid this unless needed.
The necessary condition is captured in skb_frag_must_loop.

I tried to make the change as obvious as possible. It should be easy
to verify that nothing changes if skb_frag_must_loop returns false.

Tested:
  On an x86 platform with
    CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
    CONFIG_DEBUG_KMAP_LOCAL_FORCE_MAP=y
    CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_STRING=y

  Run
    ip link set dev lo mtu 1500
    iptables -A OUTPUT -m string --string 'badstring' -algo bm -j ACCEPT
    dd if=/dev/urandom of=in bs=1M count=20
    nc -l -p 8000 > /dev/null &
    nc -w 1 -q 0 localhost 8000 < in
