udp_queue_rcv_skb() and udpv6_queue_rcv_skb() re-segment an
unexpected GSO packet after restoring skb->data to the mac
header with __skb_push(skb, -skb_mac_offset(skb)), assuming
the mac header is valid.

SRv6 End.DT4/End.DT6 VRF decapsulation calls
skb_unset_mac_header(). iptunnel_pull_offloads() can leave an
inner UDP GSO type (SKB_GSO_UDP_L4 or SKB_GSO_FRAGLIST)
behind, so a socket that does not accept that GRO type runs
the unexpected GSO path with mac_header == 0xffff.
skb_mac_offset() then returns a large positive value, which
the unsigned __skb_push() argument turns into a huge length:
skb->data moves far outside the buffer and skb->len is
corrupted, so segmentation reads out of bounds:

    BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in inet_gso_segment (net/ipv4/af_inet.c:1383)
    Read of size 1 at addr ffff88800da7ffff by task exploit/149

__skb_gso_segment() resets the mac header to wherever
skb->data points, so the push target only needs to be a valid
header start. Fall back to the network header when the mac
header was never set.

I wonder if the right fix here is to not call skb_unset_mac_header in
the first place.

There are plenty of L3 device type with no L2 header. They still have
a valid skb_mac_header.

This fix may be papering over a tunnel doing something non-standard.
