commit 68822bdf76 ("net: generalize skb freeing
deferral to per-cpu lists") added another per-cpu
cache of skbs. It was expected to be small,
and an IPI was forced whenever the list reached 128
skbs.
We might need to be able to control more precisely
queue capacity and added latency.
An IPI is generated whenever queue reaches half capacity.
Default value of the new limit is 64.

These are now internal to the core, no need to expose them.

There's a number of functions and static variables used
under net/core/ but not from the outside. We currently
dump most of them into netdevice.h. That bad for many
reasons:
- netdevice.h is very cluttered, hard to figure out
what the APIs are;
- netdevice.h is very long;
- we have to touch netdevice.h more which causes expensive
incremental builds.
Create a header under net/core/ and move some declarations.
The new header is also a bit of a catch-all but that's
fine, if we create more specific headers people will
likely over-think where their declaration fit best.
And end up putting them in netdevice.h, again.
More work should be done on splitting netdevice.h into more
targeted headers, but that'd be more time consuming so small
steps.
