net: Use helpers to get/set UDP len tree-wide
Since BIG TCP for UDP tunnels will start using len=0 in the UDP header as an indicator of a GSO packet bigger than 65535 bytes, this commit introduces the following getter and setters to use tree-wide, in order to explicitly mark places where len=0 may be expected, and handle them properly: 1. udp_set_len() sets uh->len to its real value if it's not bigger than 65535, and to 0 otherwise: to be used in GSO context with aggregated packets. 2. udp_set_len_short() is to be used when the length is known to fit 16 bits. It WARNs when the caller tries to assign a bigger value if CONFIG_DEBUG_NET=y. 3. udp_get_len_short() returns len in host byte order: to be used on the RX side to deal with non-aggregated packets, or to access the raw value of the len field. 4. udp_get_len() decodes uh->len set by udp_set_len(). It checks whether the packet is GSO to guard from malformed packets. At the moment udp_set_len() is not used, a following commit will start using it after enabling len>65535 for GSO. Raw uh->len (in network byte order) is still accessed in a few places for checksum calculation purposes, and to decode len=0 in udpv6_rcv for jumbograms. udp_rcv and udpv6_rcv will be addressed by the commit that starts using udp_set_len() to set UDP len=0 for BIG TCP packets in UDP tunnels.
