Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 1/2] skbuff: add check for non-linear to
	warn_if_lro and needs_linearize

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@...el.com>

We can avoid an unecessary cache miss by checking if the skb is non-linear
before accessing gso_size/gso_type in skb_warn_if_lro, the same can also be
done to avoid a cache miss on nr_frags if data_len is 0.
