selftests: net: tun: test more outer header mismatches of UDP tunnel GSO
This commit adds tap selftests in tools/testing/selftests/net/tun.c to test
outer header validation for UDP tunnel GSO frames, including IPv6 outer
headers, mismatched address families, VLAN-tagged frames, and non-UDP outer
L4 protocols.

[Severity: Medium]
Are hlen and pktlen in build_udptnl6_frame() off by ETH_HLEN (14 bytes)?
UDP_TUNNEL_GENEVE_4IN6_HDRLEN only counts one ETH_HLEN for the inner
Ethernet header encapsulated inside Geneve:
#define UDP_TUNNEL_GENEVE_4IN6_HDRLEN \
(ETH_HLEN + sizeof(struct iphdr) + sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) + \
GENEVE_HLEN + 2 * sizeof(struct udphdr))
For comparison, the 4in4 counterpart in build_udptnl_frame() adds ETH_HLEN
to hlen for the outer Ethernet header and does not subtract ETH_HLEN when
computing pktlen:
int hlen = ETH_HLEN + vlan_len + UDP_TUNNEL_GENEVE_4IN4_HDRLEN;
...
pktlen = UDP_TUNNEL_GENEVE_4IN4_HDRLEN - sizeof(struct iphdr) +
payload_len;
Because build_udptnl6_frame() emits both an outer Ethernet header and an
inner Ethernet header, leaving ETH_HLEN out of hlen and subtracting ETH_HLEN
from pktlen causes memset() to zero 14 bytes fewer than the returned frame
length (cur - buf), sets the virtio header hdr_len to 98 instead of 112
(which is smaller than csum_start at 104), and leaves the outer IPv6
payload_len, outer UDP length, and outer UDP checksum coverage 14 bytes too
short when outer_proto_ok_ipv6 and outer_proto_bad_family write the frame to
the tap device.
