This corrects an regression introduced by "net: Use 16bits for *_headers
fields of struct skbuff" when NET_SKBUFF_DATA_USES_OFFSET is not set. In
that case skb->tail will be a pointer whereas skb->network_header
will be an offset from head. This is corrected by using wrappers that
ensure that calculations are always made using pointers.

Sorry, I made this patch in a bit of a rush and I realise it it not
always correct as skb->tail is not always a pointer. I will re-spin the
patch.
