ipv6: introduce ipv6_make_skb
This commit is very similar to commit 1c32c5ad Author: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Date: Tue Mar 1 02:36:47 2011 +0000 inet: Add ip_make_skb and ip_finish_skb It adds IPv6 version of the helpers ip6_make_skb and ip6_finish_skb. The job of ip6_make_skb is to collect messages into an ipv6 packet and poplulate ipv6 eader. The job of ip6_finish_skb is to transmit the generated skb. Together they replicated the job of ip6_push_pending_frames() while also provide the capability to be called independently. This will be needed to add lockless UDP sendmsg support.
