We already do that: 

        if (unlikely(skb_headroom(skb) < MLXSW_TXHDR_LEN)) {
                struct sk_buff *skb_orig = skb;

                skb = skb_realloc_headroom(skb, MLXSW_TXHDR_LEN);
                if (!skb) {
                        this_cpu_inc(mlxsw_sp_port->pcpu_stats->tx_dropped);
                        dev_kfree_skb_any(skb_orig);
                        return NETDEV_TX_OK;
                }
        }
