Subject: sr9700: use skb_cow_head() to deal with cloned skbs

From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]>

commit d532c1082f68176363ed766d09bf187616e282fe 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.
