This is not adding a frag. It is copying to a frag. This naming is a
hard no as there are functions that actually add frags to the skb and
this is not what this is doing. It sounds like it should be some
variant on skb_add_rx_frag and it isn't.

Instead of "_add_" I would suggest you stick with "_copy_to_" as the
action as the alternative would be confusing as it implies you are
going to be adding this to frags yourself.
