kernel: use skb_cow_head() to deal with cloned skbs
We need to ensure there is enough headroom to push extra header,
but we also need to check if we are allowed to change headers.
skb_cow_head() is the proper helper to deal with this.
Fixes Ethernet<->WiFi bridge for Raspberry Pi and probably other devices.
