But there are places where that function is called that we don't have
an SKB to pass in (tcp_v6_send_reset and tcp_v6_send_ack, likewise in
v4). I could duplicate the whole function, once for SKBs and once for
those users, but that's a bunch of duplicated code. I'll defer to your
experience on what the kernel's preferred practice is here.
