Subject: [PATCH v3] include/linux/skbuff.h: using '(__u16) ~0U' instead of
 '~0U'


Both 'transport_header' and 'mac_header' are __u16, which are
never equal to '~0U'.

So need use '(__u16) ~0U' instead of '~0U'.

The related warning (with EXTRA_CFLAGS=-W ARCH=m68k for allmodconfig)
  include/linux/skbuff.h:1587:2: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type [-Wtype-limits]
  ...

Use meaningful macro instead of hard code number, and better to
initialize 'skb->transport_header' in __alloc_skb_head(), too.
