net: avoid one atomic operation in skb_clone()

Browse Source 
Fast clone cloning can actually avoid an atomic_inc(), if we
guarantee prior clone_ref value is 1.

This requires a change kfree_skbmem(), to perform the
atomic_dec_and_test() on clone_ref before setting fclone to
SKB_FCLONE_UNAVAILABLE.
