Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 2/3] net: remove check for headroom in
	vlan_dev_create

It is possible for the headroom to be smaller then the
hard_header_len for a short period of time after toggling
the vlan offload setting.

This is not a hard error and skb_cow_head is called in
__vlan_put_tag() to resolve this.
