can: provide library functions for skb allocation

Browse Source 
This patch makes the private functions alloc_can_skb() and
alloc_can_err_skb() of the at91_can driver public and adapts all
drivers to use these. While making the patch I realized, that
the skb's are *not* setup consistently. It's now done as shown
below:

  skb->protocol = htons(ETH_P_CAN);
  skb->pkt_type = PACKET_BROADCAST;
  skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY;
  *cf = (struct can_frame *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(struct can_frame));
  memset(*cf, 0, sizeof(struct can_frame));

The frame is zeroed out to avoid uninitialized data to be passed to
user space. Some drivers or library code did not set "pkt_type" or
"ip_summed". Also,  "__constant_htons()" should not be used for
runtime invocations, as pointed out by David Miller.
