nice, thanks a lot!

the only thing left to do is kdoc updates:
 - the existing kdocs should no longer mention frag_size == 0
 - kdoc on the slab_build_skb() should say:

  /* build_skb() variant which can operate on slab buffers.
   * Note that this should be used sparingly as slab buffers
   * cannot be combined efficiently by GRO!
   */

But this can all be done by us in a follow up, there's probably
more cleaning we can do in those kdocs.
