    Locally generated TCP GSO packets having to go through a GRE/SIT/IPIP
    tunnel have to go through an expensive skb_unclone()
    
    Reallocating skb->head is a lot of work.
    
    Test should really check if a 'real clone' of the packet was done.
    
    TCP does not care if the original gso_type is changed while the packet
    travels in the stack.
    
    This adds skb_header_unclone() which is a variant of skb_clone()
    using skb_header_cloned() check instead of skb_cloned().
    
    This variant can probably be used from other points.
