Subject: pppoe: Unshare skb before anything else

Hi Dave:

I noticed that my last patch to move the unshare in pppoe missed
the other spot which did the same thing:

pppoe: Unshare skb before anything else

We need to unshare the skb first as otherwise pskb_may_pull may
write to a shared skb which could be bad.

Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@...dor.apana.org.au>

Cheers,
