Nah, just drop __llc_tr_mac_header_len altogether and have another case
entry for ARPHDR_IEEE802_TR.

Well done, now it is better documented (LLC_PDU_TYPE_U passed) and uses
less memory, no more magic numbers, good.

I've respined the patch, thanks Arnaldo.

[LLC]: skb allocation size for responses

Allocate the skb for llc responses with the received packet size by
using the size adjustable llc_frame_alloc.
Don't allocate useless extra payload.
Cleanup magic numbers.

So, this fixes oops.
Reported by Jim Westfall:
kernel: skb_over_panic: text:c0541fc7 len:1000 put:997 head:c166ac00 data:c166ac2f tail:0xc166b017 end:0xc166ac80 dev:eth0
kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel: kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:95!
Perfect, thanks a lot:
