[PATCH net v2] net: dst_metadata: fix fortify trap + overread in skb_metadata_dst_cmp

[Jean-Paul Sergent <jpsergent@gmail.com>]

memcmp: detected buffer overflow: 108 byte read of buffer size 96
 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 15 at lib/string_helpers.c:1036 __fortify_report+0x45/0x60
  __fortify_panic+0x9/0x10
  skb_metadata_dst_cmp+0x11b/0x120

Same disease as the tun_dst_unclone fix (4c6d43db2a4d), on the RX
sibling: kmalloc_flex() in metadata_dst_alloc() sets __counted_by for
the structure to options_len, which is then initialized to zero, so
the compiler's view of the metadata_dst tail is 96 bytes at the time
of the access. Geneve carries 108 bytes of options, and the combined
struct+options memcmp trips CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE when built with
clang. Observed live on 6.18.54-talos with Cilium geneve, in
gro_cell_poll (gro_cells GRO on the geneve device) under sustained
cross-node RX; the warning is followed by a fatal Oops
(kernel BUG at lib/string_helpers.c:1043).

While here, fix a related overread: the memcmp length uses
a->u.tun_info.options_len for BOTH sides, so when b carries fewer
options than a the comparison reads past b's allocation. Pre-check
that both sides carry the same options_len and compare the options
through ip_tunnel_info_opts() so the counted_by view matches the read
length (the same two-stage shape the unclone fix uses).

v2: fix subject prefix to [PATCH net]; no code changes.

Reproduced without the fix: live kernel panic on 6.18.54-talos
(Cilium geneve, gro_cell_poll) under sustained cross-node RX; trace
in the report. The fix itself is NOT build-tested - no kernel build
environment on the reporter's host.
