icmp_redirect() just checks skb->len is larger than
sizeof(struct iphdr) and then ping_err() is called.
In ping_err(), *icmph is derived from following code without
sanity check of skb->len. So, I think avobe deleted checks about
skb->len need to move to ping_err() in case of packets are malformed.

	struct icmphdr *icmph = (struct icmphdr *)(skb->data+(iph->ihl<<2))
