#1688343 — [PATCH 3.16 163/178] cx82310_eth: use skb_cow_head() to deal with cloned skbs

3.16.46-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

commit a9e840a2081ed28c2b7caa6a9a0041c950b3c37d upstream.

We need to ensure there is enough headroom to push extra header,
but we also need to check if we are allowed to change headers.

skb_cow_head() is the proper helper to deal with this.
