aoe: reserve enough headroom on skbs
[ Upstream commit 91c5746425aed8f7188a351f1224a26aa232e4b3 ]
Some network drivers use a non default hard_header_len
Transmitted skb should take into account dev->hard_header_len, or risk
crashes or expensive reallocations.
In the case of aoe, lets reserve MAX_HEADER bytes.
David reported a crash in defxx driver, solved by this patch.
