	Looks ok to me,

	There are other places like this where result is not
checked because there is always a guarding skb_header_pointer
check, i.e. ip_vs_fill_iph_skb* should not fail at such point.

	Let us know you want to extend this patch with other such
calls (including ip_vs_fill_iph_skb_icmp)? May be they will
need return NF_ACCEPT. I guess, all such changes should be
for the ipvs-next/net-next tree when it opens.
