skbuff: Move new code into __copy_skb_header
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Hi:

skbuff: Move new __skb_clone code into __copy_skb_header

It seems that people just keep on adding stuff to __skb_clone
instead __copy_skb_header.  This is wrong as it means your brand-new
attributes won't always get copied as you intended.

This patch moves them to the right place, and adds a comment to
prevent this from happening again.
