ibmveth_is_packet_unsupported(), called from ibmveth_start_xmit(), reads
the Ethernet header via eth_hdr(skb) to test the destination address.
On the AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW + PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS transmit path the skb
reaches ndo_start_xmit() with the MAC header unset, so eth_hdr(skb)
resolves to skb->head + (u16)~0 and the read is out of bounds.
On the TX path the L2 header is at skb->data, so use skb_eth_hdr(), as
done for the same class by
commit f5089008f90c ("macsec: don't read an unset MAC header in
macsec_encrypt()")
and commit 96cc4b69581d ("macvlan: do not assume mac_header is set in
macvlan_broadcast()").

hypervisor")
