Subject: [ 48/56] aoe: reserve enough headroom on skbs

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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


From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit 91c5746425aed8f7188a351f1224a26aa232e4b3 ]

Some network drivers use a non default hard_header_len

Transmitted skb should take into account dev->hard_header_len, or risk
crashes or expensive reallocations.

In the case of aoe, lets reserve MAX_HEADER bytes.

David reported a crash in defxx driver, solved by this patch.
