Subject: [PATCH net-next] xen-netfront: reject short packets and handle non-linear packets

Sowmini points out two vulnerabilities in xen-netfront:

a) The code assumes that skb->len is at least ETH_HLEN.
b) The code assumes that at least ETH_HLEN octets are in the linear
   port of the socket buffer.

This patch adds tests for both of these, and in the case of the latter
pulls sufficient bytes into the linear area.
