networking: introduce and use skb_put_data()

A common pattern with skb_put() is to just want to memcpy()
some data into the new space, introduce skb_put_data() for
this.

An spatch similar to the one for skb_put_zero() converts many
of the places using it:

    @@
    identifier p, p2;
    expression len, skb, data;
    type t, t2;
    @@
    (
    -p = skb_put(skb, len);
    +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len);
    |
    -p = (t)skb_put(skb, len);
    +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len);
    )
    (
    p2 = (t2)p;
    -memcpy(p2, data, len);
    |
    -memcpy(p, data, len);
    )

    @@
    type t, t2;
    identifier p, p2;
    expression skb, data;
    @@
    t *p;
    ...
    (
    -p = skb_put(skb, sizeof(t));
    +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t));
    |
    -p = (t *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(t));
    +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t));
    )
    (
    p2 = (t2)p;
    -memcpy(p2, data, sizeof(*p));
    |
    -memcpy(p, data, sizeof(*p));
    )

    @@
    expression skb, len, data;
    @@
    -memcpy(skb_put(skb, len), data, len);
    +skb_put_data(skb, data, len);
