net: do_tcp_sendpages flag to avoid SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG

When calling do_tcp_sendpages() from in kernel and we know the data
has no references from user side we can omit SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG flag.
This patch adds an internal flag, NO_SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG that can be used
to omit setting SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG.

The flag is not exposed to userspace because the sendpage call from
the splice logic masks out all bits except MSG_MORE.
