    ve/net: Restore default sock_alloc_send_pskb() changed by initial cumulative patch
    
    Some of pre-2.6.32 kernel need linear skb allocation for these places. The most
    probably, it's connected with problems of memory accounting then.
    
    But now, these hunks creates problem for VMs, because allocation of continuous
    big skbs fails there.
    
    Restore the default behaviour to fix the problem.
