qlcnic: dont assume NET_IP_ALIGN is 2
qlcnic driver allocates rx skbs and gives to hardware too bytes of extra
storage, allowing for corruption of kernel data.
NET_IP_ALIGN being 0 on some platforms (including x86), drivers should
not assume it's 2.
rds_ring->skb_size = rds_ring->dma_size + NET_IP_ALIGN;
...
skb = dev_alloc_skb(rds_ring->skb_size);
skb_reserve(skb, 2);
pci_map_single(pdev, skb->data, rds_ring->dma_size, PCI_DMA_FROMDEVICE);
(and rds_ring->skb_size == rds_ring->dma_size) -> bug
Because of extra alignment (1500 + 32) -> four extra bytes are available
before the struct skb_shared_info, so corruption is not noticed.
Note: this driver could use netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align()
