From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet at google.com>

This is a follow up of commit 915d975b2ffa ("net: deal with integer
overflows in kmalloc_reserve()") based on David Laight feedback.

Back in 2010, I failed to realize malicious users could set dev->mtu
to arbitrary values. This mtu has been since limited to 0x7fffffff but
regardless of how big dev->mtu is, it makes no sense for igmpv3_newpack()
to allocate more than IP_MAX_MTU and risk various skb fields overflows.

Fixes: 57e1ab6eaddc ("igmp: refine skb allocations")
