ipv6: mld: fix add_grhead skb_over_panic for devs with large MTUs



It has been reported that generating an MLD listener report on
devices with large MTUs (e.g. 9000) and a high number of IPv6
addresses can trigger a skb_over_panic():

skbuff: skb_over_panic: text:ffffffff80612a5d len:3776 put:20
head:ffff88046d751000 data:ffff88046d751010 tail:0xed0 end:0xec0

mld_newpack() skb allocations are usually requested with dev->mtu
in size, since commit 72e09ad1 ("ipv6: avoid high order allocations")
we have changed the limit in order to be less likely to fail.

However, in MLD/IGMP code, we have some rather ugly AVAILABLE(skb)
macros, which determine if we may end up doing an skb_put() for
adding another record. To avoid possible fragmentation, we check
the skb's tailroom as skb->dev->mtu - skb->len, which is a wrong
assumption as the actual max allocation size can be much smaller.

The IGMP case doesn't have this issue as commit 57e1ab6e
("igmp: refine skb allocations") stores the allocation size in
the cb[].

Set a reserved_tailroom to make it fit into the MTU and use
skb_availroom() helper instead. This also allows to get rid of
igmp_skb_size().
