Subject: net: fix crash in build_skb()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 2ea2f62c8bda242433809c7f4e9eae1c52c40bbe ]

When I added pfmemalloc support in build_skb(), I forgot netlink
was using build_skb() with a vmalloc() area.

In this patch I introduce __build_skb() for netlink use,
and build_skb() is a wrapper handling both skb->head_frag and
skb->pfmemalloc

This means netlink no longer has to hack skb->head_frag
