When a buffer is duplicated during MESH packet forwarding,
this patch ensures that the new buffer has enough headroom.

Why bother making this conditional? It seems that always using
skb_copy_expand() should be sufficient? The code between the two
(skb_copy, skb_copy_expand) is almost identical anyway, apart from the
latter setting the headroom (and tailroom).

Indeed, calling skb_copy_expand() would work in any case.
I will send new patch
