Subject: [PATCH 4.4 141/143] kaweth: use skb_cow_head() to deal with cloned skbs

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

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

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

commit 39fba7835aacda65284a86e611774cbba71dac20 upstream.

We can use skb_cow_head() to properly deal with clones,
especially the ones coming from TCP stack that allow their head being
modified. This avoids a copy.
