This patch adds the helper ip_make_skb which is like ip_append_data and ip_push_pending_frames all rolled into one, except that it does not send the skb produced. The sending part is carried out by ip_send_skb, which the transport protocol can call after it has tweaked the skb. It is meant to be called in cases where corking is not used should have a one-to-one correspondence to sendmsg. This patch also adds the helper ip_finish_skb which is meant to be replace ip_push_pending_frames when corking is required. Previously the protocol stack would peek at the socket write queue and add its header to the first packet. With ip_finish_skb, the protocol stack can directly operate on the final skb instead, just like the non-corking case with ip_make_skb.
