At the moment an skb can only have one ubuf_info associated with it, which might be a performance problem for zerocopy sends in cases like TCP via io_uring. Add a callback for assigning ubuf_info to skb, this way we will implement smarter assignment later like linking ubuf_info together. Note, it's an optional callback, which should be compatible with skb_zcopy_set(), that's because the net stack might potentially decide to clone an skb and take another reference to ubuf_info whenever it wishes. Also, a correct implementation should always be able to bind to an skb without prior ubuf_info, otherwise we could end up in a situation when the send would not be able to progress.

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 reStructuredText 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.
