xen-netfront: pull on receive skb may need to happen earlier
Due to commit 3683243b ("xen-netfront: use __pskb_pull_tail to ensure linear area is big enough on RX") xennet_fill_frags() may end up filling MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 fragments in a receive skb, and only reduce the fragment count subsequently via __pskb_pull_tail(). That's a result of xennet_get_responses() allowing a maximum of one more slot to be consumed (and intermediately transformed into a fragment) if the head slot has a size less than or equal to RX_COPY_THRESHOLD. Hence we need to adjust xennet_fill_frags() to pull earlier if we reached the maximum fragment count - due to the described behavior of xennet_get_responses() this guarantees that at least the first fragment will get completely consumed, and hence the fragment count reduced. In order to not needlessly call __pskb_pull_tail() twice, make the original call conditional upon the pull target not having been reached yet, and defer the newly added one as much as possible (an alternative would have been to always call the function right before the call to xennet_fill_frags(), but that would imply more frequent cases of needing to call it twice).
