net: adjust skb->truesize in pskb_expand_head()
Slava Shwartsman reported a warning in skb_try_coalesce(), when we
detect skb->truesize is completely wrong.

In his case, issue came from IPv6 reassembly coping with malicious
datagrams, that forced various pskb_may_pull() to reallocate a bigger
skb->head than the one allocated by NIC driver before entering GRO
layer.

Current code does not change skb->truesize, leaving this burden to
callers if they care enough.

Blindly changing skb->truesize in pskb_expand_head() is not
easy, as some producers might track skb->truesize, for example
in xmit path for back pressure feedback (sk->sk_wmem_alloc)

We can detect the cases where it should be safe to change
skb->truesize :

1) skb is not attached to a socket.
2) If it is attached to a socket, destructor is sock_edemux()

My audit gave only two callers doing their own skb->truesize
manipulation.

I had to remove skb parameter in sock_edemux macro when
CONFIG_INET is not set to avoid a compile error.
