I can't help yet with a better answer why syzkaller reports it but it
will break things as we using skb->cb to pass additional parameters
through header_ops->create()... in this case it is some sockopts of
af802154, I guess.

side note: we should stop doing that with skb->cb and introduce some
802.15.4 specific header_ops callback structure and not depend on such
generic callback which does not fit here (and maybe somebody does a
wrapper around that and reuse skb->cb for their needs, etc.)
