Subject: [PATCH] macvtap: Resolve possible __might_sleep warning in macvtap_do_read()

macvtap_do_read code calls macvtap_put_user while it might be set up
to wait for the user.  This results in the following warning:

Make sure thet we call finish_wait() if we have the skb to process
before trying to actually process it.
