Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] xfrm: Use skb_mac_header_was_set() to check for MAC header presence

From: Marcello Sylvester Bauer <sylv@...v.io>

Replace skb->mac_len with skb_mac_header_was_set() in
xfrm4_remove_tunnel_encap() and xfrm6_remove_tunnel_encap() to detect
the presence of a MAC header. This change prevents a kernel page fault
that could occur when a MAC address is added to an L3 interface using
xfrm.
