Some IPCB fields are currently set in udp_tunnel6_xmit_skb(), which are never used before it reaches ip6tunnel_xmit(), and past that point the control buffer is no longer interpreted as IPCB.
This clears these unused IPCB related codes. Currently there is no skb scrubbing in ip6_udp_tunnel, otherwise IPCB(skb)->opt might need to be cleared for IPv4 packets, as shown in 5146d1f1511 ("tunnel: Clear IPCB(skb)->opt before dst_link_failure called").
