[PATCH 1/1] IB/rxe: remove unnecessary skb_clone

[Zhu Yanjun <yanjun.zhu-QHcLZuEGTsvQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>]

In send_atomic_ack function, it is not necessary make a
skb_clone. To gain better performance(high throughput and
low latency), this skb_clone is removed.

The following tests are made.

 server                       client
---------                    ---------
|1.1.1.1|<----rxe-channel--->|1.1.1.2|
---------                    ---------

On server: rping -s -a 1.1.1.1 -v -C 1000 -S 512
On client: rping -c -a 1.1.1.1 -v -C 1000 -S 512

The kernel config CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK is enabled on both server
and client.

This test runs for several hours. There is no memory leak and the whole
system can work well.
