[net-next PATCH 1/3] Revert "icmp: avoid allocating large struct on stack"

[Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com>]

This reverts commit 9a99d4a50cb8 ("icmp: avoid allocating large struct
on stack"), because struct icmp_bxm no really a large struct, and
allocating and free of this small 112 bytes hurts performance.

Fixes: 9a99d4a50cb8 ("icmp: avoid allocating large struct on stack")
