I don't really like this so much, but it's not all that relevant right
now. I'll probably remove this in the future though and ask drivers to
support shared SKBs if they want to take advantage of this, or so.
Also, I'll probably add checksum offload (properly - we do allow that
now but it's broken) and LSO only to the fast-xmit path here, so that we
don't have to audit all the rest of the code ...
The TI driver got this wrong, and enables checksum unconditionally, but
then if the frame needs any sort of software handling it'll totally mess
up. That's not very likely as all keys are installed into the HW, but
still ...

This might actually be wrong - I think we need to check for
IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_CLONED_SKBS and skb_clone_writable(ETH_HLEN) as
well, like ieee80211_skb_resize() does.
