When using direct data placement the NIC writes some of the payload
directly to the destination buffer, and constructs the SKB such that it
points to this data. As a result, the skb_copy datagram_iter call will
attempt to copy data when it is not necessary.

This patch adds a check to avoid this copy, and a static_key to enabled
it when TCP direct data placement is possible.
