packet: parse tpacket header before skb alloc
GSO packet headers must be stored in the linear skb segment. Move tpacket header parsing before sock_alloc_send_skb. The GSO follow-on patch will later increase the skb linear argument to sock_alloc_send_skb if needed for large packets. The header parsing code does not require an allocated skb, so is safe to move. Later pass to tpacket_fill_skb the computed data start and length. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
