Subject: [PATCH v2] include/linux/skbuff.h: using '(u16) ~0U' instead of '~0U'

From: Chen Gang <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 03 Jun 2013 19:24:04 +0800

Both 'transport_header' and 'mac_header' are u16, which are never equal
to '~0U'.

So need use '(u16) ~0U' instead of '~0U'.

The related warning (with EXTRA_CFLAGS=-W ARCH=m68k for allmodconfig)
  include/linux/skbuff.h:1587:2: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type [-Wtype-limits]
  ...

Use meaningful macro instead of hard code number, and better to
initialize 'skb->transport_header' in __alloc_skb_head(), too.
