Subject: packet: validate variable length ll headers

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 9ed988cd591500c040b2a6257bc68543e08ceeef ]

Replace link layer header validation check ll_header_truncate with
more generic dev_validate_header.

Validation based on hard_header_len incorrectly drops valid packets
in variable length protocols, such as AX25. dev_validate_header
calls header_ops.validate for such protocols to ensure correctness
below hard_header_len.
