net: core: introduce build_skb_around
The function build_skb() also have the responsibility to allocate and clear
the SKB structure. Introduce a new function build_skb_around(), that moves
the responsibility of allocation and clearing to the caller. This allows
caller to use kmem_cache (slab/slub) bulk allocation API.
Next patch use this function combined with kmem_cache_alloc_bulk.
