ipv6_srh_rcv() runs with skb->data at the Segment Routing Header while
skb_network_header() points at the fixed IPv6 header. It restores the
data position by pushing sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) before dst_input(),
which assumes the SRH immediately follows the IPv6 header. If another
extension header precedes the SRH, skb_network_offset() remains negative
and neighbour output passes it to __skb_pull() as an unsigned length.

Keep skb->data at the current extension header while rerouting and
restore it by the exact network offset before each dst_input() handoff.
Remove the fixed pull from the loopback path. This matches
ipv6_rthdr_rcv() and handles any valid preceding extension header.

The trace was captured with kernel release
7.2.0-rc2-00023-g714b725feef4-dirty:

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in eth_header (net/ethernet/eth.c:86)
  Write of size 2 at addr ffff8881247b9a3e by task ipv6_srh_poc/9336
  Call Trace:
   eth_header (net/ethernet/eth.c:86)
   neigh_resolve_output (net/core/neighbour.c:1611)
   ip6_finish_output2 (net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:136)
   ip6_forward (net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:690)
   ipv6_rthdr_rcv (net/ipv6/exthdrs.c:832)

Fixes: 1ababeba4a21 ("ipv6: implement dataplane support for rthdr type 4 (Segment Routing Header)")
