My personal preference would be for using skb_ensure_writable() here,
with write_len == optoff + hdr->opt_len.

Note that this can potentially change the network header ptr and the
caller - ip6_parse_tlv() - has cached such value in 'nh'. You also need
to update ip6_parse_tlv() to reload such pointer.

Side note: a bunch of self-tests are apparently stuck after this
series. I think it's an unrelated problem. I'll try to have a better
look.
