[PATCH 6.1.y] vxlan: use pskb_network_may_pull() for transmit path header pulls

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

[ Upstream commit b9553558b48db54ac9273e6b98d7263ef5c1a329 ]

In vxlan_xmit(), arp_reduce(), and vxlan_mdb_entry_skb_get(), pskb_may_pull() was
being called to verify the availability of network layer headers (ARP, IPv6/ND,
IP/IPv6 MDB keys).

However, during transmit skb->data points to the MAC header, so skb_network_offset(skb)
is ETH_HLEN (14 bytes). Using pskb_may_pull(skb, len) only checks len bytes from skb->data
rather than skb_network_offset(skb) + len, which can leave part of the network header
in non-linear frags.

Replace these remaining pskb_may_pull() calls with pskb_network_may_pull() to properly
account for the MAC header offset.

Fixes: e4f67addf158 ("add DOVE extensions for VXLAN")
Fixes: f564f45c4518 ("vxlan: add ipv6 proxy support")
Fixes: 0f83e69f44bf ("vxlan: Add MDB data path support")
