The issue with the ACK filter in relation to GSO was just that a GSO
segment can't contain pure ACKs, so there's no reason to check after
splitting. I've already removed that part, so it's just the length
issue. I think it's just a matter of finding the length and calling
pskb_may_pull() (and aborting if that returns false).
