net: non contiguous allocations passed to build_skb

Hey Eric,

Your commit 79930f5892e ("net: do not deplete pfmemalloc reserve") assumes that build_skb() will only handle contiguous allocations because of the virt_to_head_page().

However, netlink_sendmsg() calls build_skb() with vmalloc()ed memory, causing:

gosh. netlink & vmalloc() striked again.

I'll send a fix, thanks for the report.

From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]>

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

Applied, and since this fixes a patch I have queued up for -stable, queued up for -stable as well.
