Data beyond the UDP header might not be part of the skb's linear data.
Use skb_copy_bits() instead of direct access to skb->data+X, so that
we read the correct bytes even on a fragmented skb.

No preference just curious - could skb_header_pointer() be better suited?

I have no preference either. I just used skb_copy_bits() because it
didn't seem useful to get a pointer to the buffer (just to read one
byte of data).

But I don't mind reposting with skb_header_pointer() if anyone prefers
that solution.
