[PATCH net] drivers/net/wan: lapb: Replace the skb->len checks with pskb_may_pull

From: Xie He
Date: Sat Oct 03 2020 - 20:46:46 EST


The purpose of these skb->len checks in these drivers is to ensure that
there is a header in the skb available to be read and pulled.

However, we already have the pskb_may_pull function for this purpose.

The pskb_may_pull function also correctly handles non-linear skbs.

(Also delete the word "check" in the comments because pskb_may_pull may
do things other than simple checks in the case of non-linear skbs.)
