Gleb Natapov d698811bdd fix smp broadcast packet handling ...

Some packets, like arp replies, are broadcast to all cpus for handling,
but only packet structure is copied for each cpu, the actual packet data
is the same for all of them. Currently networking stack mangles a
packet data during its travel up the stack while doing ntoh()
translations which cannot obviously work for broadcaster packets. This
patches fixes the code to not modify packet data while doing ntoh(), but
do it in a stack allocated copy of a data instead.
