Merge branch 'remove-sk-skb-caches'



Paolo Abeni says:

====================
net: remove sk skb caches

Eric noted we would be better off reverting the sk
skb caches.

MPTCP relies on such a feature, so we need a
little refactor of the MPTCP tx path before the mentioned
revert.

The first patch exposes additional TCP helpers. The 2nd patch
changes the MPTCP code to do locally the whole skb allocation
and updating, so it does not rely anymore on core TCP helpers
for that nor the sk skb cache.

As a side effect, we can make the tcp_build_frag helper static.

Finally, we can pull Eric's revert.

RFC -> v1:
 - drop driver specific patch - no more needed after helper rename
 - rename skb_entail -> tcp_skb_entail (Eric)
 - preserve the tcp_build_frag helpwe, just make it static (Eric)
