[lucid/fsl-imx51, maverick, maverick/ti-omap4, natty, natty/ti-omap4 CVE 1/1] gro: Only reset frag0 when skb can be pulled

From: Herbert Xu <herbert at gondor.apana.org.au>

Currently skb_gro_header_slow unconditionally resets frag0 and
frag0_len.  However, when we can't pull on the skb this leaves
the GRO fields in an inconsistent state.

This patch fixes this by only resetting those fields after the
pskb_may_pull test.
