Subject: smsc75xx: use skb_cow_head() to deal with cloned skbs

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

commit b7c6d2675899cfff0180412c63fc9cbd5bacdb4d upstream.

We need to ensure there is enough headroom to push extra header,
but we also need to check if we are allowed to change headers.

skb_cow_head() is the proper helper to deal with this.
