Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] neighbour: BUG_ON() writing before skb->head in neigh_hh_output()

While skb_push() makes the kernel panic if the skb headroom is less than
the unaligned hardware header size in neigh_hh_output(), it will proceed
silently in case we copy more than that because of alignment.

In the case fixed by the previous patch,
"ipv6: Check available headroom in ip6_xmit() even without options", we
end up in neigh_hh_output() with 14 bytes headroom, 14 bytes hardware
header and write 16 bytes, starting 2 bytes before the allocated buffer.

Panic, instead of silently corrupting adjacent slabs.
