[RFC PATCH 04/12] sockets: allow allocating skb with optional structures

[Patrick Ohly]

The internal sock_alloc_send_pskb() is now exposed
as sock_alloc_send_skb_flags() and takes a flags
parameter with additional instructions for how the
skb is to be allocated. This is necessary for adding
send time stamping information to outgoing packets.

sock_alloc_send_skb() is turned into a simple wrapper
which preserves compatibility with code that
passes a boolean "nblock" instead of the flags
bitmask.

sock_alloc_send_pskb() was never called with non-zero
data_len, therefore the obsolete code and parameter
were removed.
