[PATCH net-next 2/3] net: core: introduce skb_probe_transport_header()

[Jason Wang]

Sometimes, we need probe and set the transport header for packets (e.g from
untrusted source). This patch introduces a new helper
skb_probe_transport_header() which tries to probe and set the l4 header through
skb_flow_dissect(), if not just set the transport header to the hint passed by
caller.
