[PATCH net v2] ipv6: seg6: clear IPv4 control block in End.DT4

[David Lee <david.lee@trailofbits.com>]

From: Kyle Zeng <kylebot@openai.com>

The End.DT4 input path decapsulates an IPv4 packet and sends it
directly to ip_route_input() and dst_input(). It therefore bypasses
ip_rcv_core(), which normally clears IPCB. The skb still contains
IP6CB data from the outer packet, and IPv6 extension-header offsets
overlap the IPv4 option fields. This can make __ip_options_echo()
copy beyond the allocation for saved options.

Clear IPCB after validating the inner IPv4 header and preserve the
ingress interface as ip_rcv_core() does. This prevents outer IPv6
metadata from being interpreted as inner IPv4 options.

Fixes: 664d6f86868b ("seg6: add support for the SRv6 End.DT4 behavior")

Changes in v2:
- Restore Kyle Zeng as the patch author and correct the sign-off chain.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260731140832.567669-1-david.lee@trailofbits.com/

Trail of Bits has a reproducer for this bug that triggers a KASAN
slab-out-of-bounds write in __ip_options_echo() and can share if needed.
