Subject: v2 [PATCH 6/7] dccp: Fix incorrect length check for ICMPv4 packets

Unlike TCP, which only needs 8 octets of original packet data, DCCP requires
minimally 12 or 16 bytes for ICMP-payload sequence number checks.

This patch replaces the insufficient length constant of 8 with a dynamic
value, using the routine introduced previously.
