Description

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.

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.
