This function is called from the normal UDP stack, not the GRO stack.
It's not safe to use this helper here.

This one is, but I think it would be preferable to avoid leaking this
frag0 optimization stuff outside of the core GRO code if we can help
it.

Also haven't checked whether that helper is safe to call from
.gro_complete handlers such as udp_gro_complete. It's not needed
there, in any case.

Instead, perhaps we can call __udp4_lib_lookup which takes the exact
fields as arguments, and do the network header lookup in
udp_gro_complete itself.

Less important (because it's not working before), does the use of
skb_gro_network_header break any nested tunnel support that the
p->data + off change would add?
