This should move into to switch statement below to be consistent with the v6 path

usr.sbin/ppp/tcpmss.c
165

The reason I added the check here is that from the next line on I assume that pip points to an IP header and in the line after that I look at the first component of it. Don't I need to make sure I have at least enough data to look at the ip_v field? I think only checking in the switch statement is too late, since I have already accessed a component. Or am I wrong?
