Subject: [PATCH 5/6] dccp: Fix incorrect length check for ICMPv4 packets

From: Wei Yongjun <yjwei@...fujitsu.com>

Unlike TCP, which only needs 8 octets of original packet data, DCCP requires
minimally 12 bytes for ICMP-payload sequence number checks.

This patch replaces the insufficient length constant of 8 with a dynamic
value of __dccp_basic_hdr_len(). This is safer, since it takes into account
the switch between 24bit/48bit sequence numbers (`X' bit in RFC 4340, 5.1).
