[SKBUFF]: Add skb_morph

This patch creates a new function skb_morph that's just like skb_clone
except that it lets user provide the spare skb that will be overwritten
by the one that's to be cloned.

This will be used by IP fragment reassembly so that we get back the same
skb that went in last (rather than the head skb that we get now which
requires us to carry around double pointers all over the place).
