drivers/net/wan/hdlc_fr: Add needed_headroom for PVC devices
PVC devices are virtual devices in this driver stacked on top of the actual HDLC device. They are the devices normal users would use. PVC devices have two types: normal PVC devices and Ethernet-emulating PVC devices. When transmitting data with PVC devices, the ndo_start_xmit function will prepend a header of 4 or 10 bytes. Currently this driver requests this headroom to be reserved for normal PVC devices by setting their hard_header_len to 10. However, this does not work when these devices are used with AF_PACKET/RAW sockets. Also, this driver does not request this headroom for Ethernet-emulating PVC devices (but deals with this problem by reallocating the skb when needed, which is not optimal). This patch replaces hard_header_len with needed_headroom, and set needed_headroom for Ethernet-emulating PVC devices, too. This makes the driver to request headroom for all PVC devices in all cases.
