[PATCH] dvb-core: Fix ULE decapsulation bug when less than 4 bytesof ULE SNDU is packed into the remaining bytes of a MPEG2-TS frame

[Ang Way Chuang]

ULE (Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation RFC 4326) decapsulation 
code has a bug that incorrectly treats ULE SNDU packed into the 
remaining 2 or 3 bytes of a MPEG2-TS frame as having invalid pointer 
field on the subsequent MPEG2-TS frame.

This patch was generated and tested against v2.6.34-rc6. I suspect 
that this bug was introduced in kernel version 2.6.15, but had not 
verified it.

Care has been taken not to introduce more bug by fixing this bug, but
please scrutinize the code because I always produces buggy code.
