When try to merge several skbs to prior one, if the frag_list is
used and the the last one is a small packet, once the condition
"len <= skb_tailroom(to)" is satisfied, we will get a wrong
packet!
This patch just check frag_lists before the condtion to prevent
this from happening.

Sigh.

No idea what problem you tried to solve.

This patch is not needed.

If (len <= skb_tailroom()), then it is obviously correct to copy_bits()
the bytes.

Hints :

- If @to has a fraglist, then skb_tailroom(to) is 0 so the copy can not
be done.

How to make sure it?
In my test, @to has a fraglist, but skb_tailroom(to) is not 0!
The test is about tipc, the function tipc_buf_append will merge 3 skbs to one:
packet 1: len = 1420 skb_tailroom = 190
packet 2: len = 1420
        packet 2 will be add to 1' fraglist, but not update skb_tailroom
packet 3: len = 60
        Here's the error!


- If @from has a fraglist, it is not relevant as we copy it into @to and
will free @from.

This is going to be a FAQ
