Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: warn if transport header was not set

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

Make sure skb_transport_header() and skb_transport_offset() uses
are not fooled if the transport header has not been set.

This change will likely expose existing bugs in linux networking stacks.
