igb: update driver to make use of DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC

The ARM architecture provides a mechanism for deferring cache line
invalidation in the case of map/unmap.  This patch makes use of this
mechanism to avoid unnecessary synchronization.

A secondary effect of this change is that the portion of the page that
has been synchronized for use by the CPU should be writable and could be
passed up the stack (at least on ARM).

The last bit that occurred to me is that on architectures where the
sync_for_cpu call invalidates cache lines we were prefetching and then
invalidating the first 128 bytes of the packet.  To avoid that I have
moved the sync up to before we perform the prefetch and allocate the
skbuff so that we can actually make use of it.
