Subject: [PATCH] net: ipv4: raw: don't agree to 0 sized headers

For raw sockets, we'd always assume that a header is supplied and will attempt
to copy it into the ip header space using memcpy_fromiovecend():

	if (memcpy_fromiovecend((void *)iph, from, 0, length))
		goto error_free;

The problem is that memcpy_fromiovecend() assumes that there are actual data
to read from the iovec and doesn't deal with cases where there are none:

	int memcpy_fromiovecend(unsigned char *kdata, const struct iovec *iov,
				int offset, int len)
	{
		/* Skip over the finished iovecs */
		while (offset >= iov->iov_len) {
			offset -= iov->iov_len;
			iov++;
		}
		[...]

So when offset == 0 and iov->iov_len == 0, we'll just run iov into random
kernel memory until it hits something bad and dies in a BUG/panic - either
killing the kernel or leaking memory and held locks.
