Adding paged frags skbs to af_unix sockets introduced a performance regression on large sends because of additional page allocations, even if each skb could carry at least 100% more payload than before. We can instruct sock_alloc_send_pskb() to attempt high order allocations. Most of the time, it does a single page allocation instead of 8. I added an additional parameter to sock_alloc_send_pskb() to let other users to opt-in for this new feature on followup patches.
