[PATCH net v2] gtp: parse extension headers before reading inner protocol

[Zhixing Chen <running910@gmail.com>]

GTPv1-U packets may carry a chain of extension headers before the inner
IP packet. The receive path already parses and skips these extension
headers, but it currently reads the inner protocol before doing so.

As a result, the first extension header byte is interpreted as the inner
IP version. Packets with extension headers are then dropped before PDP
lookup.

Parse the extension header chain before calling gtp_inner_proto(), so the
inner protocol is read from the actual inner IP header.
