drivers/net/wan/hdlc_fr: Add needed_headroom for PVC devices
[ Upstream commit 44a049c ] PVC devices are virtual devices in this driver stacked on top of the actual HDLC device. They are the devices normal users would use. PVC devices have two types: normal PVC devices and Ethernet-emulating PVC devices. When transmitting data with PVC devices, the ndo_start_xmit function will prepend a header of 4 or 10 bytes. Currently this driver requests this headroom to be reserved for normal PVC devices by setting their hard_header_len to 10. However, this does not work when these devices are used with AF_PACKET/RAW sockets. Also, this driver does not request this headroom for Ethernet-emulating PVC devices (but deals with this problem by reallocating the skb when needed, which is not optimal). This patch replaces hard_header_len with needed_headroom, and set needed_headroom for Ethernet-emulating PVC devices, too. This makes the driver to request headroom for all PVC devices in all cases.
