Subject: [05/55] gro: Only reset frag0 when skb can be pulled

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@...dor.apana.org.au>

commit 17dd759c67f21e34f2156abcf415e1f60605a188 upstream.

Currently skb_gro_header_slow unconditionally resets frag0 and
frag0_len.  However, when we can't pull on the skb this leaves
the GRO fields in an inconsistent state.

This patch fixes this by only resetting those fields after the
pskb_may_pull test.
