Subject: [PATCH] net_sched: check skb_transport_header_was_set() in qdisc_pkt_len_init()

commit 1def9238d4aa2 (net_sched: more precise pkt_len computation) does
not check to see if skb_transport_header is valid prior to using it in
qdisc_pkt_len_init(), which can lead to a kernel panic if
skb_transport_header is not valid but gso_size is nonzero.  This patch
adds a check for skb_transport_header_was_set().

I managed to hit this scenario by driving a burst of traffic from a
qemu guest through a macvtap interface, causing a panic in the host kernel.
