skbuff: add an api to orphan frags
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit a353e0c upstream.

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.
