Here is a more complete patch, please test it.

Thanks !

[PATCH] bonding: fix l23 and l34 load balancing in forwarding path

Since commit 6b923cb7188d46 (bonding: support for IPv6 transmit hashing)
bonding doesn't properly hash traffic in forwarding setups.

Vitaly V. Bursov diagnosed that skb_network_header_len() returned 0 in
this case.

More generally, the transport header might not be in the skb head.

Use pskb_may_pull() & skb_header_pointer() to get it right, and use
proto_ports_offset() in bond_xmit_hash_policy_l34() to get support for
more protocols than TCP and UDP.
