Subject: [PATCH] ndisc: Ensure to reserve header space for encapsulation.

We allocate sk_buff of MAX_HEADER + LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) + packet
length + dev->needed_tailroom, but reserved LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev)
only.  This means that space for encapsulation was placed at the end
of buffer.  This does not make sense.

Reserve the space correctly, like this:

head                       data                   tail       end
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+                |           |                      |          |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|<--MAX_HEADER-->|<-hlen---->|<---ipv6 packet------>|<--tlen-->|
                   =LL_
                    RESERVED_
                    SPACE(dev)
