Subject: [PATCH net] packet: reset network header if packet shorter than ll reserved space

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@...gle.com>

If variable length link layer headers result in a packet shorter
than dev->hard_header_len, reset the network header offset. Else
skb->mac_len may exceed skb->len after skb_mac_reset_len.

packet_sendmsg_spkt already has similar logic.

Fixes: b84bbaf7a6c8 ("packet: in packet_snd start writing at link layer allocation")
