net: add IFF_SKB_TX_SHARED flag to priv_flags 

Pktgen attempts to transmit shared skbs to net devices, which can't be used by
some drivers as they keep state information in skbs.  This patch adds a flag
marking drivers as being able to handle shared skbs in their tx path.  Drivers
are defaulted to being unable to do so, but calling ether_setup enables this
flag, as 90% of the drivers calling ether_setup touch real hardware and can
handle shared skbs.  A subsequent patch will audit drivers to ensure that the
flag is set properly
