net: Make IP alignment calulations clearer.
The assignmnet: ip_align = strict ? 2 : NET_IP_ALIGN; in compare_pkt_ptr_alignment() trips up Coverity because we can only get to this code when strict is true, therefore ip_align will always be 2 regardless of NET_IP_ALIGN's value. So just assign directly to '2' and explain the situation in the comment above. Reported-by: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <garsilva@embeddedor.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
