[PATCH NET 0/7] skbuff: introduce pskb_realloc_headroom()

[Vasily Averin]

currently if skb does not have enough headroom skb_realloc_headrom is called.
It is not optimal because it creates new skb.

Unlike skb_realloc_headroom, new helper pskb_realloc_headroom 
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(), ip6_xmit() and a few other
functions in vrf, ax25 and bpf.

There are few other cases where this helper can be used but they require
an additional investigations. 

NB: patch "ipv6: use pskb_realloc_headroom in ip6_finish_output2" depends on 
patch "ipv6: allocate enough headroom in ip6_finish_output2()" submitted separately
