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

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 LLRESERVEDSPACE() and LLRESERVEDSPACE_EXTRA() helpers.

More changes might be needed for completeness.
