[PATCH NET 1/7] skbuff: introduce pskb_realloc_headroom()

[Vasily Averin]

Unlike skb_realloc_headroom, new helper 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.
