Subject: skb: Add inline helper for getting the skb end offset from head
From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit ec47ea82477404631d49b8e568c71826c9b663ac ]
With the recent changes for how we compute the skb truesize it occurs to me
we are probably going to have a lot of calls to skb_end_pointer -
skb->head. Instead of running all over the place doing that it would make
more sense to just make it a separate inline skb_end_offset(skb) that way
we can return the correct value without having gcc having to do all the
optimization to cancel out skb->head - skb->head.
