net: Fix usage of pskb_trim_rcsum
[ Upstream commit 6c57f0458022298e4da1729c67bd33ce41c14e7a ] In certain cases, pskb_trim_rcsum() may change skb pointers. Reinitialize header pointers afterwards to avoid potential use-after-frees. Add a note in the documentation of pskb_trim_rcsum(). Found by KASAN. Signed-off-by: Ross Lagerwall <ross.lagerwall@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
