4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexander Aring <aring@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit ac74f87c789af40936a80131c4759f3e72579c3a upstream.

This patch fixes patch add handling to take care tail and headroom for
single 6lowpan frames. We need to be sure we have a skb with the right
head and tailroom for single frames. This patch do it by using
skb_copy_expand() if head and tailroom is not enough allocated by upper
layer.
