Subject: [Regression net-next] include/linux/skbuff.h: "1a37e41 net: Use 16bits
 for *_headers fields of struct skbuff"

Hello Maintainers:

When not define NET_SKBUFF_DATA_USES_OFFSET, 'sk_buff_data_t' will be a
pointer, then the last parameter of memmove() in mangle_contents() will
be a pointer in "net/netfilter/nf_nat_helper.c".

The reason is from the patch "1a37e41 net: Use 16bits for *_headers
fields of struct skbuff", it changed the type of 'skb->network_header'
for saving size, it needs additional improvement.

The related warning (make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-W ARCH=m68k allmodconfig):
  arch/m68k/include/asm/string.h:61:14: note: expected ‘__kernel_size_t’ but argument is of type ‘sk_buff_data_t’


in "net/netfilter/nf_nat_helper.c"

 91 /* Frobs data inside this packet, which is linear. */
 92 static void mangle_contents(struct sk_buff *skb,
 93                             unsigned int dataoff,
