In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv6: Fix signed integer overflow in __ip6_append_data

Resurrect ubsan overflow checks and ubsan report this warning,
fix it by change the variable [length] type to size_t.

UBSAN: signed-integer-overflow in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1489:19

Changes since v1:
-Change the variable [length] type to unsigned, as Eric Dumazet suggested.
Changes since v2:
-Don't change exthdrlen type in ip6_make_skb, as Paolo Abeni suggested.
Changes since v3:
-Don't change ulen type in udpv6_sendmsg and l2tp_ip6_sendmsg, as
Jakub Kicinski suggested.
