3.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ian Campbell <Ian.Campbell@citrix.com>
commit d9a58a782e396a0f04e8445b7ba3763c8a48c7fe upstream.
Using RX_COPY_THRESHOLD is incorrect if the SKB is actually smaller
than that. We have already accounted for this in
NETFRONT_SKB_CB(skb)->pull_to so use that instead.
Fixes WARN_ON from skb_try_coalesce.
