net: add alloc_skb_with_frags() helper
Extract from sock_alloc_send_pskb() code building skb with frags,
so that we can reuse this in other contexts.
Intent is to use it from tcp_send_rcvq(), tcp_collapse(), ...
We also want to replace some skb_linearize() calls to a more reliable
strategy in pathological cases where we need to reduce number of frags.
