Hi Jakub,

I like your patch, and I think it is a good improvement,
but I find the patch description slightly confusing.

In my understanding of things this patch is doing two things:

1) Moving code into a helper
2) Eliminating a check on CONFIG_SKB_EXTENSIONS,
   presumably because it is selected by NET_TC_SKB_EXT.

But the patch description seems to conflate these.

In any case, code looks good.
