udp: copy skb->truesize in the first cache line
In UDP RX handler, we currently clear skb->dev before skb is added to receive queue, because device pointer is no longer available once we exit from RCU section. Since this first cache line is always hot, lets reuse this space to store skb->truesize and thus avoid a cache line miss at udp_recvmsg()/udp_skb_destructor time while receive queue spinlock is held.
