net: permit skb_segment on head_frag frag_list skb

One of our in-house projects, bpf-based NAT, hits a kernel BUG_ON at
function skb_segment(), line 3667. The bpf program attaches to
clsact ingress, calls bpf_skb_change_proto to change protocol
from ipv4 to ipv6 or from ipv6 to ipv4, and then calls bpf_redirect
to send the changed packet out.
 ...
    3665                 while (pos < offset + len) {
    3666                         if (i >= nfrags) {
    3667                                 BUG_ON(skb_headlen(list_skb));
 ...

The triggering input skb has the following properties:
    list_skb = skb->frag_list;
    skb->nfrags != NULL && skb_headlen(list_skb) != 0
and skb_segment() is not able to handle a frag_list skb
if its headlen (list_skb->len - list_skb->data_len) is not 0.

Patch #1 provides a simple solution to avoid BUG_ON. If
list_skb->head_frag is true, its page-backed frag will
be processed before the list_skb->frags.
Patch #2 provides a test case in test_bpf module which
constructs a skb and calls skb_segment() directly. The test
case is able to trigger the BUG_ON without Patch #1.

The patch has been tested in the following setup:
  ipv6_host <-> nat_server <-> ipv4_host
where nat_server has a bpf program doing ipv4<->ipv6
translation and forwarding through clsact hook
bpf_skb_change_proto.

Changelog:
v5 -> v6:
  . Added back missed BUG_ON(!nfrags) for zero
    skb_headlen(skb) case, plus a couple of
    cosmetic changes, from Alexander.
v4 -> v5:
  . Replace local variable head_frag with
    a static inline function skb_head_frag_to_page_desc
    which gets the head_frag on-demand. This makes
    code more readable and also does not increase
    the stack size, from Alexander.
  . Remove the "if(nfrags)" guard for skb_orphan_frags
    and skb_zerocopy_clone as I found that they can
    handle zero-frag skb (with non-zero skb_headlen(skb))
    properly.
  . Properly release segment list from skb_segment()
    in the test, from Eric.
v3 -> v4:
  . Remove dynamic memory allocation and use rewinding
    for both index and frag to remove one branch in fast path,
    from Alexander.
  . Fix a bunch of issues in test_bpf skb_segment() test,
    including proper way to allocate skb, proper function
    argument for skb_add_rx_frag and not freeint skb, etc.,
    from Eric.
v2 -> v3:
  . Use starting frag index -1 (instead of 0) to
    special process head_frag before other frags in the skb,
    from Alexander Duyck.
v1 -> v2:
  . Removed never-hit BUG_ON, spotted by Linyu Yuan.
