[PATCH 6/8] netpoll: pre-fill skb pool

[Matt Mackall <mpm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

we could do one thing (see the patch below): i think it would be useful 
to fill up the netlogging skb queue straight at initialization time.  
Especially if netpoll is used for dumping alone, the system might not be 
in a situation to fill up the queue at the point of crash, so better be 
a bit more prepared and keep the pipeline filled.
