nfc: hci: fix out-of-bounds read in HCP header parsing

Both nfc_hci_recv_from_llc() and nci_hci_data_received_cb() read
packet->header from skb->data at function entry without first checking
that the buffer holds at least one byte. A malicious NFC peer can send
a 0-byte HCP frame that passes through the SHDLC layer and reaches
these functions, causing an out-of-bounds heap read of packet->header.
The same 0-byte frame, if queued as a non-final fragment, also causes
the reassembly loop to underflow msg_len to UINT_MAX, triggering
skb_over_panic() when the reassembled skb is written.

Fix this by adding a pskb_may_pull() check at the entry of each
function before packet->header is first accessed. The existing
pskb_may_pull() checks before the reassembled hcp_skb is cast to
struct hcp_packet remain in place to guard the 2-byte HCP message
header.
