CVE-2021-46954 net/sched: sch_frag: fix stack OOB read while fragmenting IPv4 packets
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/sched: sch_frag: fix stack OOB read while fragmenting IPv4 packets

when 'act_mirred' tries to fragment IPv4 packets that had been previously
re-assembled using 'act_ct', splats like the following can be observed on
kernels built with KASAN:

for IPv4 packets, sch_fragment() uses a temporary struct dst_entry. Then,
in the following call graph:

  ip_do_fragment()
    ip_skb_dst_mtu()
      ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward()
        ip_mtu_locked()

the pointer to struct dst_entry is used as pointer to struct rtable: this
turns the access to struct members like rt_mtu_locked into an OOB read in
the stack. Fix this changing the temporary variable used for IPv4 packets
in sch_fragment(), similarly to what is done for IPv6 few lines below.
