Not used.
pedit sets TC_MUNGED when packet content was altered, but all the core
does is unset MUNGED again and then set OK2MUNGE.
And the latter isn't tested anywhere. So lets remove both
TC_MUNGED and TC_OK2MUNGE.

Wanted to do the same.
iproute2 doesn't use 'munge' flag either.

Florian,
If you are going to take this path then fix pedit to do a pskb_expand.
I think it would be better to fix the actions that do
pskb_expand_head() and let them indicated they were munged.
The flag was intended to be an optimization where it would indicate
to the action processing a packet to not bother and just trample
on the packet if noone is referencing it.
That was the rule, unfortunately nobody paid attention and it
didnt matter because it doesnt seem there was a use case where two
actions in a graph would be editing packets one after the other).
cheers,
jamal
