use slab_build_skb directly.

This looks like similar updates like commit 99b415fe8986 ("tg3: Use
slab_build_skb() when needed")

Yeah, I noticed that when I was looking for examples of other "Fixes"
tags for the "skbuff: Introduce slab_build_skb()" commit. I suspect
there are many drivers that will need this "fix".

Yeah, at the time the API changes was made it was clear it wasn't easy
to identify which needed it, so the WARN was added along with supporting
the old style via internal fall-back.
