-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Andy Green <[email protected]>
patch 9b8a74e3482f9fc077a88c13fa0ceca8feb0b772 in mainline.
Michael Wu noticed that the skb length checking is not taken care of enough when
a packet is presented on the Monitor interface for injection.
This patch improves the sanity checking and removes fake offsets placed
into the skb network and transport header.
