[PATCH 03/12] gigaset: linearize skb

[Tilman Schmidt]

The code of the Gigaset driver assumes that sk_buff-s coming
from the ISDN4Linux subsystem are always linear. Explicitly
calling skb_linearize() is cheap if they are, but much more
robust in case they ever aren't.

Impact: robustness improvement
