Some platforms (e.g. R-Car SoCs) has memory alignment restriction.
If memory alignment is not match, the usb peripheral driver desides
not to DMA controller. Then, the performance is not good.
In the case of u_ether.c, since it calls skb_reserve() in rx_submit(),
it is possible to cause memory alignment mispatch in some platforms
(like R-Car SoCs).
So, this patch adds a new quirk "quirk_avoids_skb_reserve" to avoid
skb_reserve() calling in u_ether.c to improve performance.
A peripheral driver will set this flag and network gadget drivers
(e.g. f_ncm.c) will reference the flag via gadget_avoids_skb_reserve().
