This patch adds the skbuff fraglist splitter. This API provides an iterator to transform the fraglist into single skbuff objects, it consists of: * ip_fraglist_init(), that initializes the internal state of the fraglist splitter. * ip_fraglist_prepare(), that restores the IPv4 header on the fragments. * ip_fraglist_next(), that retrieves the fragment from the fraglist and it updates the internal state of the splitter to point to the next fragment skbuff in the fraglist. The ip_fraglist_iter object stores the internal state of the iterator. This code has been extracted from ip_do_fragment(). Symbols are also exported to allow to reuse this iterator from the bridge codepath to build its own refragmentation routine by reusing the existing codebase.

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.
