From: David Hauweele <da...@hauweele.net>
When a new 6lowpan fragment is received, a skbuff is allocated for
the reassembled packet. However when a 6lowpan packet compresses
link-local addresses based on link-layer addresses, the processing
function relies on the skb mac control block to find the related
link-layer address.
This patch copies the control block from the first fragment into
the newly allocated skb to keep a trace of the link-layer addresses
in case of a link-local compressed address.
Edit: small changes on comment issue
