[PATCH 4.4 12/28] ipv6: fix possible use-after-free in ip6_xmit()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit bbd6528d28c1b8e80832b3b018ec402b6f5c3215 ]

In the unlikely case ip6_xmit() has to call skb_realloc_headroom(),
we need to call skb_set_owner_w() before consuming original skb,
otherwise we risk a use-after-free.

Bring IPv6 in line with what we do in IPv4 to fix this.
