Subject: [PATCHv2] netfilter: Remove skb_is_nonlinear check from
	nf_conntrack_sip

At least the XEN net front driver always produces non linear skbs,
so the SIP module does nothing at all when used with that NIC.

Unconditionally linearize the skb..

Patrick/Jan, thanks.. This is what I wanted to do in the first place,
but I couldn't convince myself it was safe, as no other nf code does
this..

Unfortunately I can no longer test it :(
