Remove the necessity to modify skb_ext_total_length() when new extension types are added. Also reduces the line count a bit. With optimizations enabled the function is folded down to the same constant value as before during compilation. This has been validated on x86 with GCC 6.5.0 and 13.2.1. Also a similar construct has been validated on godbolt.org with GCC 5.1. In any case the compiler has to be able to evaluate the construct at compile-time for the BUILD_BUG_ON() in skb_extensions_init(). Even if not evaluated at compile-time this function would only ever be executed once at run-time, so the overhead would be very minuscule.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
