Current userspace considers an ICMP header to be 4 bytes consisting
of the type, code, and checksum.  The kernel considers it to be 8
bytes because it also counts the two data fields that contain
type-specific information (and are always present).  Since flow
extract will zero out headers that are not completely present this
means that an ICMP packet that has a header of 5-7 bytes will be
interpreted differently by userspace and kernel.  This fixes the
problem by adopting the kernel's version of the ICMP header in
userspace.
