netvm: set PF_MEMALLOC as appropriate during SKB processing
In order to make sure pfmemalloc packets receive all memory needed to proceed, ensure processing of pfmemalloc SKBs happens under PF_MEMALLOC. This is limited to a subset of protocols that are expected to be used for writing to swap. Taps are not allowed to use PF_MEMALLOC as these are expected to communicate with userspace processes which could be paged out.
