That's what I originally wanted to do, but had to move and grow txflags thus
skb_shinfo ended up growing.  I wanted to avoid that, so stole an skb flag.

I considered treating fragid == 0 as unset, but a 0 fragid is perfectly valid
from the protocol perspective and could actually be generated by the id generator
functions.  This may cause us to call the id generation multiple times.
