ipv6: ip6_fragment: fix headroom tests and skb leak
David Woodhouse reports skb_under_panic when we try to push ethernet header to fragmented ipv6 skbs: skbuff: skb_under_panic: text:c1277f1e len:1294 put:14 head:dec98000 data:dec97ffc tail:0xdec9850a end:0xdec98f40 dev:br-lan [..] ip6_finish_output2+0x196/0x4da David further debugged this: [..] offending fragments were arriving here with skb_headroom(skb)==10. Which is reasonable, being the Solos ADSL card's header of 8 bytes followed by 2 bytes of PPP frame type. The problem is that if netfilter ipv6 defragmentation is used, skb_cow() in ip6_forward will only see reassembled skb. Therefore, headroom is overestimated by 8 bytes (we pulled fragment header) and we don't check the skbs in the frag_list either. We can't do these checks in netfilter defrag since outdev isn't known yet. Furthermore, existing tests in ip6_fragment did not consider the fragment or ipv6 header size when checking headroom of the fraglist skbs. While at it, also fix a skb leak on memory allocation -- ip6_fragment must consume the skb. I tested this e1000 driver hacked to not allocate additional headroom (we end up in slowpath, since LL_RESERVED_SPACE is 16). If 2 bytes of headroom are allocated, fastpath is taken (14 byte ethernet header was pulled, so 16 byte headroom available in all fragments).
