inet: Add ip_make_skb and ip_finish_skb

This patch adds the helper ip_make_skb which is like ip_append_data
and ip_push_pending_frames all rolled into one, except that it does
not send the skb produced.  The sending part is carried out by
ip_send_skb, which the transport protocol can call after it has
tweaked the skb.

It is meant to be called in cases where corking is not used should
have a one-to-one correspondence to sendmsg.

This patch also adds the helper ip_finish_skb which is meant to
be replace ip_push_pending_frames when corking is required.
Previously the protocol stack would peek at the socket write
queue and add its header to the first packet.  With ip_finish_skb,
the protocol stack can directly operate on the final skb instead,
just like the non-corking case with ip_make_skb.
