ipv4: Fix potential uninit variable access bug in __ip_make_skb()
[ Upstream commit 99e5acae193e369b71217efe6f1dad42f3f18815 ]
Like commit ea30388baebc ("ipv6: Fix an uninit variable access bug in
__ip6_make_skb()"). icmphdr does not in skb linear region under the
scenario of SOCK_RAW socket. Access icmp_hdr(skb)->type directly will
trigger the uninit variable access bug.
Use a local variable icmp_type to carry the correct value in different
scenarios.
