Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/5] skbuff: open-code __build_skb() inside __napi_alloc_skb()

In preparation for skbuff_heads caching and reusing, open-code
__build_skb() inside __napi_alloc_skb() with factoring out
the skbbuff_head allocation itself.
Note that the return value of __build_skb_around() is not checked
since it never returns anything except the given skb.
