skbuff: introduce skb_expand_head()
[ Upstream commit f1260ff15a71b8fc122b2c9abd8a7abffb6e0168 ] Like skb_realloc_headroom(), new helper increases headroom of specified skb. Unlike skb_realloc_headroom(), it does not allocate a new skb if possible; copies skb->sk on new skb when as needed and frees original skb in case of failures. This helps to simplify ip[6]_finish_output2() and a few other similar cases. Signed-off-by:Vasily Averin <vvs@virtuozzo.com> Signed-off-by:
