[PATCH net v2] net: neigh: Reallocate headroom if necessary in neigh_hh_bridge()

[Lorenzo Bianconi <lorenzo@kernel.org>]

neigh_hh_bridge() assumes the skb always has sufficient headroom to copy
the aligned  L2 header. This assumption can trigger the crash reported
below using the following netfilter setup:

$modprobe br_netfilter
$sysctl -w net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables=1

$root@OpenWrt:~# nft list ruleset
table ip nat {
        chain prerouting {
                type nat hook prerouting priority dstnat; policy accept;
                ip daddr 192.168.83.123 dnat to 192.168.83.120
        }
}

- iperf3 client (192.168.83.119) --> bridge (192.168.83.118) --> iperf3 server (192.168.83.120)

the iperf3 client is sending packet for 192.168.83.123 to the bridge device.
