Subject: ipvs: Fix panic due to non-linear skb

commit f44a5f45f544561302e855e7bd104e5f506ec01b upstream.

Receiving a ICMP response to an IPIP packet in a non-linear skb could
cause a kernel panic in __skb_pull.

The problem was introduced in
commit f2edb9f7706dcb2c0d9a362b2ba849efe3a97f5e ("ipvs: implement
passive PMTUD for IPIP packets").
