[PATCH net-next] net: Revert "net: add function to allocate sk_buff head without data area"

[Florian Westphal]

It was added for netlink mmap tx, there are no callers in the tree.
The commit also added a check for skb->head != NULL in kfree_skb path,
remove that too -- all skbs ought to have skb->head set.
