netpoll: fix netpoll_send_udp() bugs
Bogdan Hamciuc diagnosed and fixed following bug in netpoll_send_udp() :
"skb->len += len;" instead of "skb_put(skb, len);"
Meaning that _if_ a network driver needs to call skb_realloc_headroom(),
only packet headers would be copied, leaving garbage in the payload.
However the skb_realloc_headroom() must be avoided as much as possible
since it requires memory and netpoll tries hard to work even if memory
is exhausted (using a pool of preallocated skbs)
It appears netpoll_send_udp() reserved 16 bytes for the ethernet header,
which happens to work for typicall drivers but not all.
Right thing is to use LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev)
(And also add dev->needed_tailroom of tailroom)
This patch combines both fixes.
Many thanks to Bogdan for raising this issue.
