note that skb_make_writable already exists in net/netfilter/core.c
but does something slightly different.

This patch mostly is related to tunnel API where RHEL 7
kernel API are not in-sync with newer linux kernel API. So
extra checks are required to check for parameters of API.

This is the ported version of commit 36d5fe6a with the same name from net-next.
Apart from the small datapath.c changes it adjust the compat layer files as
well. This is the original commit message:
"skb_zerocopy can copy elements of the frags array between skbs, but it doesn't
orphan them. Also, it doesn't handle errors, so this patch takes care of that
as well, and modify the callers accordingly. skb_tx_error() is also added to
the callers so they will signal the failed delivery towards the creator of the
skb."

These functions will be factored out and exported upstream. On
kernels 3.5 and newer the backport will provide zero copy support
but older kernels will work as before (due to lack of skb->head_frag).

Following patch restructures ovs tunneling and gre vport
implementation to make ovs tunneling more in sync with
upstream kernel tunneling. Doing this tunneling code is
simplified as most of protocol processing on send and
recv is pushed to kernel tunneling. For external ovs
module the code is moved to kernel compatibility code.

The linux-2.6 and compat-2.6 directories apply equally to the upcoming
Linux 3.0 release, so this drops the 2.6 suffix and updates Makefiles.
