Do not add 'return X;' or 'goto something;' in macros please.

Even referring to 'h323_buffer' is not nice, and of course 65536 is
another 'magic' value.

Even if h323_buffer was allocated to hold 65536 bytes, the various
skb_header_pointer() calls only populated a part of it.

I understand there is a bad precedent in
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_h323_asn1.c, but it is not a good reason.

Anyway, if the issue is real, you do not take into account the 2 extra
bytes for the port.

memcpy(port, p + len, sizeof(__be16));
