[PATCH RFC 2/6] skbuff: add an api to orphan frags

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>
Date: 2012-05-07 13:54:34
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Many places do
       if ((skb_shinfo(skb)->tx_flags & SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY))
		skb_copy_ubufs(skb, gfp_mask);
to copy and invoke frag destructors if necessary.
Add an inline helper for this.
