Subject: [PATCH 4/4] ipv6: frags: Use inet_frag_pull_head() in ip6_expire_frag_queue()

With frag code shared between IPv4 and IPv6 it is now possible
to use inet_frag_pull_head() in ip6_expire_frag_queue() in order
to properly extract the first skb from the frags queue.
Since this really takes the skb out of the list, it no longer
needs to be protected against removal (which implicitly fixes
a crash that will happen somewhere in the call to icmp6_send()
when the use count is forcefully checked to be 1.

 kernel BUG at linux-4.4.0/net/core/skbuff.c:1207!
