This patch introduces several helper functions/macros that will be
used in the follow-up patch. No runtime changes yet.
The new logic (fully implemented in the second patch) is as follows:
* Nodes in the rb-tree will now contain not single fragments, but lists
of consecutive fragments ("runs").
* At each point in time, the current "active" run at the tail is
maintained/tracked. Fragments that arrive in-order, adjacent
to the previous tail fragment, are added to this tail run without
triggering the re-balancing of the rb-tree.
* If a fragment arrives out of order with the offset _before_ the tail run,
it is inserted into the rb-tree as a single fragment.
* If a fragment arrives after the current tail fragment (with a gap),
it starts a new "tail" run, as is inserted into the rb-tree
at the end as the head of the new run.
skb->cb is used to store additional information
needed here (suggested by Eric Dumazet).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
