netfilter: nf_reject: initialize IPCB at inet ingress

The inet ingress hook runs before ip_rcv_core() and ip6_rcv_core(), so
neither IPCB nor IP6CB has been initialized when nft_reject_inet passes
a packet to nf_send_unreach() or nf_send_unreach6(). skb->cb can
therefore retain metadata from an earlier protocol layer.

For IPv4, icmp_send() treats IPCB(skb)->opt as parsed IPv4 options.
Stale option offsets can make __ip_options_echo() copy an
attacker-controlled length into its 40-byte reply option buffer and
overflow the stack. On an unpatched v7.2-rc5 kernel, the IPv4
reproducer produced:

  BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in __ip_options_echo()
  Write of size 255

For IPv6, icmpv6_send() consumes IP6CB(skb) as parsed IPv6 metadata. It
always uses iif for source selection and, when MIP6 is enabled, uses
dsthao as an extension-header offset. These fields must not be stale.

For NF_INET_INGRESS, clear the address-family-specific control block and
restore its input interface before constructing the ICMP error.  This
matches similar initialization normally performed by ip_rcv_core() and
ip6_rcv_core().
