ipmr_cache_report() builds reports for mrouted from a packet that may be a
synthetic RTM_GETROUTE query. That query skb stores the netlink requester
portid in NETLINK_CB(), but the report is delivered to a raw IPv4 socket,
whose receive path interprets skb->cb as IPCB().
Commit bb7403655b3c ("ipmr: support IP_PKTINFO on cache report IGMP
msg") added IP_PKTINFO support by calling ipv4_pktinfo_prepare() on the
original packet and then copying the entire 48-byte skb control block to
the report skb. For synthetic route-query packets, this copies
NETLINK_CB() bytes into IPCB() and lets a controlled portid corrupt
IPCB(skb)->opt. With IP_RECVOPTS or IP_RETOPTS enabled, the raw socket
receive path can then copy past the short report packet or overflow the
stack option buffer.
Keep the IP_PKTINFO support, but initialize the report skb control buffer
and copy only the pktinfo fields prepared by ipv4_pktinfo_prepare(). Do
this in the common path so both short reports and whole-packet reports are
covered.
This removes the accidental IP_RECVOPTS/IP_RETOPTS behavior on the
mrouted socket, but that behavior was only a side effect of copying the
entire control block and was never intended to work for these reports.

changes in v2:
- reword the commit message to say the entire 48-byte skb control block is copied
- mention that IP_RECVOPTS/IP_RETOPTS on the mrouted socket was never intended
- move the pktinfo copy to the common path so both report branches are covered
