Subject: cxgb3: Fix length calculation in write_ofld_wr() on 32-bit 
architectures

From: Ben Hutchings <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 262e827fe745642589450ae241b7afd3912c3f25 ]

The length calculation here is now invalid on 32-bit architectures,
since sk_buff::tail is a pointer and sk_buff::transport_header is
an integer offset:

drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb3/sge.c: In function 'write_ofld_wr':
drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb3/sge.c:1603:9: warning: passing argument 4 of 
'make_sgl' makes integer from pointer without a cast [enabled by default]
         adap->pdev);
         ^
drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb3/sge.c:964:28: note: expected 'unsigned int' 
but argument is of type 'sk_buff_data_t'
 static inline unsigned int make_sgl(const struct sk_buff *skb,
                            ^

Use the appropriate skb accessor functions.

Compile-tested only.
