Linux Virtualization - Apr 2012 - [PATCH] skbuff: struct ubuf_info callback type safety

The skb struct ubuf_info callback gets passed struct ubuf_info
itself, not the arg value as the field name and the function signature
seem to imply. Rename the arg field to ctx to match usage,
add documentation and change the callback argument type
to make usage clear and to have compiler check correctness.

Applied, thanks for fixing this Michael.
