Subject: [PATCH 02/11] net: add function to allocate skbuff head without data area

From: Patrick McHardy <kaber@...sh.net>

Add a function to allocate a skbuff head without any data. This will be
used by memory mapped netlink to attach data from the mmaped area to the
skb.

Additionally change skb_release_all() to check whether the skb has a
data area to allow the skb destructor to clear the data pointer in
case only a head has been allocated.
