I am ok by this way, but we might hit another similar problem elsewhere.

(igmp.c ip6_output, ...)

We effectively want to remove LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE() usage and obfuscate
code...
Here's another idea, provide a helper to do the skb allocation
and the skb_reserve in one go.  That way this ugliness would only
need to be done once.
Someone please test this:

--------------------
net: Fix crashes on devices which dynamically change needed headroom.

One such device is IP_GRE.

The problem is that we evaluate the device characteristics twice, once
to determine the allocation size, and once to do the skb_reserve().

Combine these into one operation using a helper function.

With help from Eric Dumazet and Herbert Xu.
