[PATCH NET v4 0/1] ipv6: allocate enough headroom in ip6_finish_output2()

From: Vasily Averin

Recently Syzkaller found one more issue on RHEL7-based OpenVz kernels.
During its investigation I've found that upstream is affected too.

TEE target send sbk with small headroom into another interface which requires
an increased headroom.

ipv4 handles this problem in ip_finish_output2() and creates new skb with enough headroom,
though ip6_finish_output2() lacks this logic.

Suzkaller created C reproducer, it can be found in v1 cover-letter
https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/7/7/467

v4 changes:
fixed skb_set_owner_w() call: it should set sk on new nskb

v3 changes:
now I think it's better to separate bugfix itself and creation of new helper.
now bugfix does not create new inline function. Unlike from v1 it creates new skb
only when it is necessary, i.e. for shared skb only.
In case of failure it updates IPSTATS_MIB_OUTDISCARDS counter
Patch set with new helper will be sent separately.

v2 changes:
new helper was created and used in ip6_finish_output2 and in ip6_xmit()
small refactoring in changed functions: commonly used dereferences was replaced by variables
