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

net: tunnels: annotate lockless accesses to dev->needed_headroom

IP tunnels can apparently update dev->needed_headroom
in their xmit path.

This patch takes care of three tunnels xmit, and also the
core LL_RESERVED_SPACE() and LL_RESERVED_SPACE_EXTRA()
helpers.

More changes might be needed for completeness.
