Frequently when using PPPoE with an interface MTU greater than 1500, the skb is likely to be non-linear. If the skb needs to be passed to pppd then the skb data must be read correctly. The previous commit fixes an issue with accidentally sending skbs to pppd based on an invalid read of the protocol type. When that error occurred pppd was reading invalid skb data too.
