In ppp_decompress_frame(), skb->data - 2 is passed to the decompressor
assuming at least 2 bytes of headroom exist for the PPP Address/Control
fields, and the returned decompressed length is only checked for len < 0
before indexing ns->data[2..3] and calling skb_pull_rcsum(skb, 2).

Ensure 2 bytes of headroom via pskb_expand_head(skb, 2, 0, GFP_ATOMIC),
reject decompressed frames shorter than PPP_HDRLEN (4 bytes), and check
isize >= PPP_HDRLEN + BSD_OVHD in bsd_decompress() before reading the
sequence number and header bytes.
