ppp: fix BUG on non-linear SKB (multilink receive)
PPP does not correctly call pskb_may_pull() on all necessary receive paths before reading the PPP protocol, thus causing PPP to report seemingly random 'unsupported protocols' and eventually trigger BUG_ON(skb->len < skb->data_len) in skb_pull_rcsum() when receiving multilink protocol in non-linear skbs. ppp_receive_nonmp_frame() does not call pskb_may_pull() before reading the protocol number. For the non-mp receive path this is not a problem, as this check is done in ppp_receive_frame(). For the mp receive path, ppp_mp_reconstruct() usually copies the data into a new linear skb. However, in the case where the frame is made up of a single mp fragment, the mp header is pulled and the existing skb used. This skb was then passed to ppp_receive_nonmp_frame() without checking if the encapsulated protocol header could safely be read.
