Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

geneve: make sure to pull inner header in geneve_rx()

syzbot triggered a bug in geneve_rx() [1]

Issue is similar to the one I fixed in commit 8d975c15c0cd
("ip6_tunnel: make sure to pull inner header in __ip6_tnl_rcv()")

We have to save skb->network_header in a temporary variable
in order to be able to recompute the network_header pointer
after a pskb_inet_may_pull() call.

pskb_inet_may_pull() makes sure the needed headers are in skb->head.
