Álvaro Fernández Rojas 2db05cd199 kernel: use skb_cow_head() to deal with cloned skbs
We need to ensure there is enough headroom to push extra header,
but we also need to check if we are allowed to change headers.

skb_cow_head() is the proper helper to deal with this.

Fixes Ethernet<->WiFi bridge for Raspberry Pi and probably other devices.

Subject: [PATCH] smsc95xx: Use skb_cow_head to deal with cloned skbs
The driver was failing to check that the SKB wasn't cloned
before adding checksum data.
Replace existing handling to extend/copy the header buffer
with skb_cow_head.
