skbuff: add an api to orphan frags
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. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
