[PATCH 3.18 31/39] brcmfmac: Make skb header writable before use

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: James Hughes <james.hughes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9cc4b7cb86cbcc6330a3faa8cd65268cd2d3c227 upstream.

The driver was making changes to the skb_header without
ensuring it was writable (i.e. uncloned).
This patch also removes some boiler plate header size
checking/adjustment code as that is also handled by the
skb_cow_header function used to make header writable.
