[PATCH nf v2] netfilter: nft_exthdr: Fix non-linear header modification

[Xiao Liang]

Fix skb_ensure_writable() size. Don't use nft_tcp_header_pointer() to
make it explicit that pointers point to the packet (not local buffer).

Fixes: 99d1712bc41c ("netfilter: exthdr: tcp option set support")
Fixes: 7890cbea66e7 ("netfilter: exthdr: add support for tcp option removal")

Applied to nf, thanks
