Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: dsa: microchip: linearize skb for tail-tagging switches

The pointer arithmentic for accessing the tail tag only works
for linear skbs.

For nonlinear skbs, it reads uninitialized memory inside the
skb headroom, essentially randomizing the tag. I have observed
it gets set to 6 most of the time.

Example where ksz9477_rcv thinks that the packet from port 1 comes from port 6
(which does not exist for the ksz9896 that's in use), dropping the packet.
Debug prints added by me (not included in this patch):

Call skb_linearize before trying to access the tag.

This patch fixes ksz9477_rcv which is used by the ksz9896 I have at
hand, and also applies the same fix to ksz8795_rcv which seems to have
the same problem.
