Paolo Abeni dce4551cb2 udp: preserve head state for IP_CMSG_PASSSEC
Paul Moore reported a SELinux/IP_PASSSEC regression
caused by missing skb->sp at recvmsg() time. We need to
preserve the skb head state to process the IP_CMSG_PASSSEC
cmsg.

With this commit we avoid releasing the skb head state in the
BH even if a secpath is attached to the current skb, and stores
the skb status (with/without head states) in the scratch area,
so that we can access it at skb deallocation time, without
incurring in cache-miss penalties.

This also avoids misusing the skb CB for ipv6 packets,
as introduced by the commit 0ddf3fb2c4 ("udp: preserve
skb->dst if required for IP options processing").

Clean a bit the scratch area helpers implementation, to
reduce the code differences between 32 and 64 bits build.
