[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH 4/8 v3] kaweth: use skb_cow_head() to deal with cloned skbs

[Linus Walleij]

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet at google.com>

commit 39fba7835aacda65284a86e611774cbba71dac20 upstream.

We can use skb_cow_head() to properly deal with clones,
especially the ones coming from TCP stack that allow their head being
modified. This avoids a copy.
