Like the UDP header fix, pskb_may_pull() can potentially
alter the SKB buffer.  Thus the saddr and daddr, pointers
may point to the old skb->data buffer.

I haven't seen corruptions, as its only seen if the old
skb->data buffer were reallocated by another user and
written into very quickly (or poison'd by SLAB debugging).
