  To: netdev, Steve Glendinning, Microchip Linux Driver Support; +Cc: James Hughes

The driver was failing to check that the SKB wasn't cloned
before adding checksum data.
Replace existing handling to extend/copy the header buffer
with skb_cow_head.

Change for V3
- Added the dev_kfree_skb_any, otherwise the skb would not 
  be deallocated due to returning NULL.
