Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: xt_TCPOPTSTRIP: don't use tcp_hdr()

commit ed82c437320c48a4032492f4a55a7e2c934158b6 upstream.

In (bc6bcb5 netfilter: xt_TCPOPTSTRIP: fix possible mangling beyond
packet boundary), the use of tcp_hdr was introduced. However, we
cannot assume that skb->transport_header is set for non-local packets.
