6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit da273b377ae0d9bd255281ed3c2adb228321687b ]
If skb_expand_head() returns NULL, skb has been freed
and associated dst/idev could also have been freed.
We need to hold rcu_read_lock() to make sure the dst and
associated idev are alive.
Fixes: 5796015fa968 ("ipv6: allocate enough headroom in ip6_finish_output2()")
