    net/drivers/i40e: suppress warning on skb linearization
    
    Preallocate required memory with reasoned flags and skip memory
    allocation step made by __pskb_pull_tail.

    khorenko@:
    * skb buffer is provided to DMA zone, so allocation cannot be switched to
      kvmalloc(), so we just supress the warning here.
    
    * i40e_skb_linearize() code is taken from __pskb_pull_tail(),
      except for the size: we omit "+128" preallocation here
      because no future expansions are expected in this case.
    
    * there is another similar place: i40e_xmit_frame_ring() in i40evf/i40e_txrx.c,
      but as we did not trigger the warning there and as we just shut up the warning,
      we don't touch the second place in advance.
