From: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@web.de>
There are several functions which might reallocate skb data. Currently
some places keep reusing their old ethhdr pointer regardless of whether
they became invalid after such a reallocation or not. This potentially
leads to kernel paging errors.
This patch fixes these by refetching the ethdr pointer after the
potential reallocations.
