skb: Drop bad code from pskb_expand_head
The fast-path for pskb_expand_head contains a check where the size plus the unaligned size of skb_shared_info is compared against the size of the data buffer. This code path has two issues. First is the fact that after the recent changes by Eric Dumazet to __alloc_skb and build_skb the shared info is always placed in the optimal spot for a buffer size making this check unnecessary. The second issue is the fact that the check doesn't take into account the aligned size of shared info. As a result the code burns cycles doing a memcpy with nothing actually being shifted.
