Subject: [PATCH net v1 1/3] skbuff: skb_clone_sk_optional(): add function to always clone a skb and increase refcount on sk if valid

There already the function skb_clone_sk(), which clones the skb, but
only if the sk is valid.

There are several users in the networking stack, which always need a
clone of a skb with the sk refcount incremented (but only if the sk is
valid). This patch adds such a function.
