skbuff: introduce skb_pull_data
Like skb_pull but returns the original data pointer before pulling the data after performing a check against sbk->len. This allows to change code that does "struct foo *p = (void *)skb->data;" which is hard to audit and error prone, to: p = skb_pull_data(skb, sizeof(*p)); if (!p) return; Which is both safer and cleaner.
