You have this part right.  The length represents the maximum length we
are willing to traverse in the buffer.  So if we 100% want to get the
entire header regardless of what we can copy into then we could follow
your approach.  However, since the allocated space in the skb is only
IGB_RX_HDR_LEN we only really want to traverse up to that length.  Then
that is all we copy out of the header.

As a result we don't need the extra code for putting the upper limit on
pull_len since that is factored in by passing IGB_RX_HDR_LEN as the
maximum traversal length.
