[SKBUFF]: Add skb_morph
This patch creates a new function skb_morph that's just like skb_clone except that it lets user provide the spare skb that will be overwritten by the one that's to be cloned. This will be used by IP fragment reassembly so that we get back the same skb that went in last (rather than the head skb that we get now which requires us to carry around double pointers all over the place).
