Subject: [PATCH] ip_tunnel: fix kernel panic with icmp_dest_unreach

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

Daniel Petre reported crashes in icmp_dst_unreach() with following call
graph:

#3 [ffff88003fc03938] __stack_chk_fail at ffffffff81037f77
#4 [ffff88003fc03948] icmp_send at ffffffff814d5fec
#5 [ffff88003fc03ae8] ipv4_link_failure at ffffffff814a1795

#7 [ffff88003fc03b78] dev_hard_start_xmit at ffffffff8146e032
#8 [ffff88003fc03bc8] sch_direct_xmit at ffffffff81487d66
#9 [ffff88003fc03c08] __qdisc_run at ffffffff81487efd
#10 [ffff88003fc03c48] dev_queue_xmit at ffffffff8146e5a7
#11 [ffff88003fc03c88] ip_finish_output at ffffffff814ab596

Daniel found a similar problem mentioned in 
 http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1007.0/00961.html

And indeed this is the root cause : skb->cb[] contains data fooling IP
stack.

We must clear IPCB in ip_tunnel_xmit() sooner in case dst_link_failure()
is called. Or else skb->cb[] might contain garbage from GSO segmentation
layer.

A similar fix was tested on linux-3.9, but gre code was refactored in
linux-3.10. I'll send patches for stable kernels as well.

Many thanks to Daniel for providing reports, patches and testing !
