The referenced patch has only landed in net-next yet.

The same check already exists in udp_gro_receive, which has for longer
been calling skb_gro_receive_list:

       if (!pskb_may_pull(skb, skb_gro_offset(skb))) {
               NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->flush = 1;
               return NULL;
       }
 
Alternatively it would make sense to deduplicate the check and move it
to skb_gro_receive_list itself, before

        skb_pull(skb, skb_gro_offset(skb));
