Pravin B Shelar a17ad09617 net: Fix zero-copy head len calculation.
In some cases skb head could be locked and entire header
data is pulled from skb. When skb_zerocopy() called in such cases,
following BUG is triggered. This patch fixes it by copying entire
skb in such cases.
This could be optimized incase this is performance bottleneck.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
