Subject: [PATCH] Fix UDP short packet false positive


The UDP header pointer assignment must happen after calling
pskb_may_pull().  As pskb_may_pull() can potentially alter the SKB
buffer.

This was exposted by running multicast traffic through the NIU driver,
as it won't prepull the protocol headers into the linear area on
receive.
