Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6] net: remove two kmemcheck annotations

__alloc_skb() uses a memset() to clear all the beginning of skb,
including bitfields contained in 'flags1' & 'flags2'.

We dont need any more to use kmemcheck_annotate_bitfield() on these
fields. However, we still need it for the clone part, which is not
cleared.
