seg6: reset IP6CB after IPv6 decapsulation

decap_and_validate() pulls the outer SRv6 headers and makes the inner
packet the skb network header. The IPv6 control block still contains
values collected while parsing the outer packet, including nhoff and
extension-header flags.

End.DX6 and End.DT6 route the inner IPv6 packet directly to the IPv6
input path. An unprivileged user can reach End.DT6 from a user and net
namespace by installing a local SID and injecting an outer packet with
Hop-by-Hop and Destination Options headers followed by an SRH and a
minimal inner IPv6 packet.

The outer extension headers leave a large nhoff in IP6CB. After
decapsulation, ip6_protocol_deliver_rcu() uses that stale offset on the
inner packet and reads beyond the skb head. KASAN reports:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ip6_protocol_deliver_rcu

Before clearing IP6CB for an inner IPv6 packet, save its incoming
interface index and L3 slave state. Restore both after the clear and set
nhoff to the inner IPv6 base-header nexthdr field.

Use IP6CB(skb)->iif rather than skb->skb_iif because VRF processing can
replace skb_iif with the L3 master while IP6CB keeps the receiving
interface. Preserve IP6SKB_L3SLAVE for the same reason.
