A KASAN:use-after-free bug was found related to ip6-erspan while running selftests/net/ip6_gre_headroom.sh
It happens because of following sequence: - ipv6hdr pointer is obtained from skb - skb_cow_head() is called, skb->head memory is reallocated - old data is accessed using ipv6hdr pointer skb_cow_head() call was added in e41c7c68ea77 ("ip6erspan: make sure enough headroom at xmit."), but looking at the history there was a chance of similar bug because gre_handle_offloads() and pskb_trim() can also reallocate skb->head memory. Fixes tag points to commit which introduced possibility of this bug. This patch moves ipv6hdr pointer assignment after skb_cow_head() call.
