CVE-2025-38622net: drop UFO packets in udp_rcv_segment()

Official description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: drop UFO packets in udp_rcv_segment() When sending a packet with virtio_net_hdr to tun device, if the gso_type in virtio_net_hdr is SKB_GSO_UDP and the gso_size is less than udphdr size, below crash may happen. ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:4572!

When the encap_rcv hook return 1 in udp_queue_rcv_one_skb(), udp_csum_pull_header() will try to pull udphdr, but the skb size has been segmented to gso size, which leads to this crash. Previous commit cf329aa42b66 ("udp: cope with UDP GRO packet misdirection") introduces segmentation in UDP receive path only for GRO, which was never intended to be used for UFO, so drop UFO packets in udp_rcv_segment().
