Commit 2835750dd647 ("net: rose: reject truncated CLEAR_REQUEST frames
in state machines") guards against short CLEAR_REQUEST frames using a
plain skb->len comparison. Use pskb_may_pull() instead, which both
enforces the length requirement and ensures the bytes are in the linear
part of the skb, making the subsequent accesses to skb->data[3] and
skb->data[4] safe for non-linear buffers.
