Subject: [PATCH 6/8] Make the sk_clone() lighter

From: Pavel Emelyanov <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2007 16:54:34 +0300

The sk_prot_alloc() already performs all the stuff needed by the
sk_clone(). Besides, the sk_prot_alloc() requires almost twice
less arguments than the sk_alloc() does, so call the sk_prot_alloc()
saving the stack a bit.
