[V2 PATCH 4/9] macvtap: zerocopy: set SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY only whenskb is built successfully

From: Jason Wang
Date: Tue May 01 2012 - 23:47:36 EST


Current the SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY is set unconditionally after
zerocopy_sg_from_iovec(), this would lead NULL pointer when macvtap
fails to build zerocopy skb because destructor_arg was not
initialized. Solve this by set this flag after the skb were built
successfully.
