Eric Dumazet b55e5a0159 openvswitch: use eth_type_trans_careful() in internal_dev_recv()
OVS actions like pop_eth followed by pop_mpls(ETH_P_TEB) or pop_nsh
can expose an inner Ethernet header which is not in the linear part
of the skb. Output to an internal port then crashes in eth_type_trans():

  flow: in_port(0),eth(),eth_type(0x8847),mpls(lse=0x00010140)
  actions: pop_eth,pop_mpls(0x6558),0
  # AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW on dp0: eth / mpls / eth / 4096 bytes of payload

  kernel BUG at include/linux/skbuff.h:2839!
  RIP: 0010:eth_type_trans (include/linux/etherdevice.h:635 net/ethernet/eth.c:163)

   packet_sendmsg (net/packet/af_packet.c:3157 net/packet/af_packet.c:3189)

Use eth_type_trans_careful(), and drop the packet if the Ethernet
header can not be pulled. This covers all OVS actions at the consumer,
instead of fixing each producer.

Fixes: f66b53fdbb ("openvswitch: New MPLS actions for layer 2 tunnelling")
