CVE-2021-47146 mld: fix panic in mld_newpack()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mld: fix panic in mld_newpack()

mld_newpack() doesn't allow to allocate high order page,
only order-0 allocation is allowed.
If headroom size is too large, a kernel panic could occur in skb_put().

Test commands:
    ip netns del A
    ip netns del B
    ip netns add A
    ip netns add B
    ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1
    ip link set veth0 netns A
    ip link set veth1 netns B

    ip netns exec A ip link set lo up
    ip netns exec A ip link set veth0 up
    ip netns exec A ip -6 a a 2001:db8:0::1/64 dev veth0
    ip netns exec B ip link set lo up
    ip netns exec B ip link set veth1 up
    ip netns exec B ip -6 a a 2001:db8:0::2/64 dev veth1
    for i in {1..99}
    do
        let A=$i-1
        ip netns exec A ip link add ip6gre$i type ip6gre \
	local 2001:db8:$A::1 remote 2001:db8:$A::2 encaplimit 100
        ip netns exec A ip -6 a a 2001:db8:$i::1/64 dev ip6gre$i
        ip netns exec A ip link set ip6gre$i up

        ip netns exec B ip link add ip6gre$i type ip6gre \
	local 2001:db8:$A::2 remote 2001:db8:$A::1 encaplimit 100
        ip netns exec B ip -6 a a 2001:db8:$i::2/64 dev ip6gre$i
        ip netns exec B ip link set ip6gre$i up
    done

Allowing high order page allocation could fix this problem.
