Subject: [PATCH 3.2 30/94] packet: only test po->has_vnet_hdr once in
 packet_snd

3.2.97-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@...gle.com>

commit da7c9561015e93d10fe6aab73e9288e0d09d65a6 upstream.

Packet socket option po->has_vnet_hdr can be updated concurrently with
other operations if no ring is attached.

Do not test the option twice in packet_snd, as the value may change in
between calls. A race on setsockopt disable may cause a packet > mtu
to be sent without having GSO options set.

Fixes: bfd5f4a3d605 ("packet: Add GSO/csum offload support.")
