net: mpls: clear inner_protocol when the last label is popped

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: mpls: clear inner_protocol when the last label is popped skb_mpls_push() records the pre-encapsulation network header once, gated on !skb->inner_protocol. skb_mpls_pop() never clears that record, so it outlives the encapsulation it describes. Open vSwitch can then re-push MPLS onto a packet whose inner_network_header still points at the older, deeper offset: push a label, pop every label, recirculate (ovs_flow_key_update() re-derives key->eth.type and resets network_header, but leaves inner_*), then push again. ovs_fragment() trusts the record: skb->network_header = skb->inner_network_header; so skb_network_offset() goes negative. The bound check is signed: if (skb_network_offset(skb) > MAX_L2_LEN) a negative offset passes it, and prepare_frag() widens the value: unsigned int hlen = skb_network_offset(skb); memcpy(&data->l2_data, skb->data, hlen); which is a ~4GiB memcpy out of a 30-byte per-CPU buffer. Reproduced on v7.3-rc1.

Here it originates in the MPLS push/pop path. Clear inner_protocol once the packet is no longer MPLS, so a later push re-records the current header. net/sched/act_mpls.c is the only other skb_mpls_pop() caller and gets the same fix; sch_frag.c saves and restores inner_protocol around fragmentation in the same way OVS does.
