net: introduce managed frags infrastructure

Some users like io_uring can do page pinning more efficiently, so we
want a way to delegate referencing to other subsystems. For that add
a new flag called SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS. When set, skb doesn't hold
page references and upper layers are responsivle to managing page
lifetime.

It's allowed to convert skbs from managed to normal by calling
skb_zcopy_downgrade_managed(). The function will take all needed
page references and clear the flag. It's needed, for instance,
to avoid mixing managed modes.
