commit 9cc4b7cb86cbcc6330a3faa8cd65268cd2d3c227 upstream
The driver was making changes to the skb_header without
ensuring it was writable (i.e. uncloned).
This patch also removes some boiler plate header size
checking/adjustment code as that is also handled by the
skb_cow_header function used to make header writable.

This patch should be applied to the linux-4.4.y and linux-4.1.y
branches.
