Subject: [PATCH 2/8] netfilter: nft_exthdr: call ipv6_find_hdr() with explicitly initialized offset

From: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@...hat.com>

In nft's nft_exthdr_eval() routine we process IPv6 extension header
through invoking ipv6_find_hdr(), but we call it with an uninitialized
offset variable that contains some stack value. In ipv6_find_hdr()
we then test if the value of offset != 0 and call skb_header_pointer()
on that offset in order to map struct ipv6hdr into it. Fix it up by
initializing offset to 0 as it was probably intended to be.
