Even when zerocopy transmission is requested and possible, __ip_append_data() will still copy a small chunk of data just because it allocated some extra linear space (e.g. 148 bytes). It wastes CPU cycles on copy and iter manipulations and also misalignes potentially aligned data. Avoid such coies. And as a bonus we can allocate smaller skb.
