The SKB control buffer is useful (and used) for bookkeeping of information related to that SKB. Add helpers so that the mlxsw driver(s) can safely use the buffer as well. The structure is currently empty, individual users will add members to it as necessary. Note that SKB allocation functions already clear the buffer, so the cleanup is only necessary when ndo_start_xmit is called.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
