[PATCH] : Fix check for underflow

http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4279
Summary: When I try to start vpnc the net/core/skbuff.c:91 crash

This check is wrong, gcc optimizes it away:

                if ((len -= sizeof(pi)) > len)
			return -EINVAL;

This could be responsible for the BUG. If len is 2 or 3 and TUN_NO_PI
isn't set it underflows. alloc_skb() allocates len + 2, which is 0 or
1 byte. skb_reserve tries to reserve 2 bytes and things explode in
skb_put.
